@olblue75, nice pickup from another CF member, good to see it stay around in the forums.
All the Tension Blue stuff on the outside is done with decals, no official GM paint code. If you're looking to paint some stuff on the car, then it will have to be color matched. There are some colors that pinstripe folks use that are very close (process blue is one) and people have found a few film mfg's that have colors that are very close as well, they are listed in the first post of this thread.
Forum has been updated with your info.
I have the PPG paint code that 99% matches the Tension blue # 922601

I've also sourced out a 3M premium film that is almost an exact match. It's called Olympic Blue # 1016 from Vinylstriping.com.
PPG paint # again is 922601.
and again, DON'T By any carbon fiber products from "trufiber"
Oh, and for the guy who wants tension blue shift paddles, it won't happen, BUT you can get pre cut Stick on blue for $ 19.99 from CORVETTEMODS.COM., not the best customer service but they have them. They are shown in my avatar.

Hi.... I used the Olympic Blue vinyl and made matching hash marks for my new Silverado and also used the pinstripe vinyl to accent the black center stripe on the GSCE. Works well and is really close in color

But you missed the tow hook.
Does anyone make a nice rear cargo mat for our cars???
Lloyd Mats makes them in a number of colours but nothing I've found specifically for the Collector Edition. (https://www.lloydmatsstore.com/featu...icles/corvette) They have number of colors and designs - anything from personalized to the Grand Sport logo to Corvette Racing, Jake etc. Also available on eBay, Amazon etc.

Helping update used side.
Thanks, 146 and 840 are in the used listings already. Many times dealers will list them on eBay as well. 146 is actually on it's second trip to the used car listings.
I don't have 375 in the used listings though, I'll try to look that one up when I return from my trip and get it on the listings.
Anyone do any performance modifications yet? I just scheduled an appointment in early October for the following:
- Kooks headers
- Kooks xpipe (no cats)
- Tony Mamo ported/polished TB
- Tune
I already have a Vararam intake, so I am hoping (fingers crossed) it hits the 500hp to the wheels mark. I have seen just the headers, xpipe, intake, tune get around 490 so hopefully the TB will push it over. My luck it will be 499. Going to be a completely different car and way more fun to drive and track.
There's been quite a bit, especially if you look across all of the GS' in the forum and not just GSCE's. Some are not as willing to do stuff until they are out of warranty to avoid the risk of warranty block. But I've seen quite a bit of stuff posted, including a supercharger on a GSCE that looked quite nice...

I have CAI, headers and x pipe.... waiting for tune after warranty expires. At that time probably going pro charger as well.
12,982 miles right now.
30k miles will give me enough seat time to be ready for more hp.
Currently do at least 5 track days per year. This year 2 at Roebling. 2 at VIR, 2 days at Daytona November 30/December 1st.
