I drove mine to 7-11 and then to a church function. It was nice to do that in February, in Michigan. I don't think I'll get to drive it for another week or two.
I'll be ordering some parts and cleaning supplies tomorrow in preps for Opening Day weekend in March/April. At that time, my C7 Grand Sport will be resurrected from the garage whenever weather permits.
And here's to hoping they get these road conditions straightened out by then (you know what I'm talking about, coming from Michigan).
It is actually black interior. What you see in the picture are custom seat covers. I also added the red GS center console arm rest, red GS front mats and rear cargo mat.
When I bought my GS back in April I didn't want to wait 3-4 months to special order red interior and pay a $595 color override fee (which is no longer the case). So I picked this one out of MacMulkin's stock and did the after market add ons.
I did have red interior on my 2014 C7 and loved it.
Have to ask where you got your wheels? Are those made by Factory Reproduction? I love the Z06 wheels but they don't fit the Stingray, found a reproduction set made for the Stingray on West Coast Corvette's site.

I've been scouting the roads. Around my house, not bad, Corvette approved. On the way to work, still a ways to go.

It was 57 degrees yesterday in East Lansing. I pulled off the car cover, pumped the tires back up to 35 psi, and the wife and I hit the local ice cream store and library, ran a couple miles down the highway, and then put the C7 back in the garage until it warms up again.
Yes, Please. I am interested in this as well. I'd love to have this done but its not something I'd want to attempt myself.
Just to let you know I did from behind the seats back with the Dynamat and then with 3/8 second skin, then also under the wheels wells with only the Dynamat. What a difference! Have a short gravel driveway and before could easily hear the rocks hitting in the fender wells,,after I noticed right away you could barely hear the rocks hitting. Big Difference in going do the road for sure. Thinking about now doing under the seats and door panels. About $500 in materials.
This makes me think I should do exactly what I did for my new BMW and that is take it to Discount Tire and purchase the full lifetime tire insurance on the tires. It cost me a couple of hundred to do this but this provides me with tire balancing and free replacement for the life of the tire. It instantly saved me $60 that day so the cost was $140 or extra. This would be good to do for the GS. Plus knowing I have this insurance is worth it and peace of mind. Thanks for your note.
Did you buy the tires at Discount, or are you suggesting that one can buy a warranty for tires not purchased there?
... are you suggesting that one can buy a warranty for tires not purchased there?
I have purchased tire warranties from Discount/American Tire for tires purchased elsewhere, and for OEM tires on my C7. The rep checked the tread depth, so there may be a wear limitation.

Thanks, I'll check it out. Still <500 miles on my C7 so seems like a good time.
Mind if I ask what kind of cost I should expect for the Z51 OEM tires?
