What did you do to your C7 today?

Melting Slicks
put on the driver's door spear, passenger door speaker panel, and driver's console trim panel. All that remains is to get the Passenger dash panel in and dye the remaining white stitching as close to GM's Spice Red as I can get it.

Washed the GS, removed each wheel and did a good cleaning as they were getting dirty inside. Cleaned calipers too while wheels were off.
Oh, and changed lug nuts from chrome to black.

Finished installing LEDs in the rear vent area. I now have front grill, side coves and rear bumper vents completed, strictly for use at shows. Kids enjoy them which makes it worth it.

Not exactly done "to" my car today, but framed and hung up two posters in my garage next to where my car sleeps at night.
Kinda cool having posters of almost exactly my car. The one on the right is signed by the Corvette Racing drivers. The one on the left was given to me by a neighbor that is on his second GS and didn't need the extra poster.

Picked it up on Monday, 2 month wait - Happy - afraid the 91 C4 may not get out of the garage for a while.

45K on my new to me 2015 base convertible with manual transmission. I changed the transmission oil and the diff oil also. The plug on the diff was not much more than finger tight and was seeping a bit around the lower plug. I am pretty sure the diff was never touched since new.
Draining the transmission.
Here is a view of old transmission fluid on the right vs new stuff out of the bottle.
And here is the old diff oil vs new.
I used the factory recommended fluids.

So far so good without a front plate.
And how are things with you Joe? I’m sure it’s a little toasty in AZ but then again I see from a few of your posts that you are certainly enjoying the open roads unlike Portland’s gridlocked.. BTW, I tell my other buddies about all the smile miles you have put on your C7 in less than three years as it should be.

I'm up to 71,250 in 31 months of ownership. We're having too much fun down here. If you get close by again stop over and we can swap some lies.

Took a drive up the Berkeley Hills. Now enjoying a cigar with two great views! That is the Bay Bridge and SF across the bay.
