I called the dealer that replace the carbon fiber and that dealer said that in his opinion this dealer didn't want to fool with repairing it and or they wanted to get me to pay for it out of pocket instead of warranty.

So, I just had this dealer to replace the headliner and I drove it straight to another dealer, the dealer I used to use when I live locally, and had those guys (their GM rep) to look at it and low and behold I got a call today that said they were going to replace it under warranty. They inform me that the entire Dash would have to be removed and wanted to ensure that I wanted to replace it now instead of waiting till later in the warranty period. Obviously I'm getting it fixed now. They have order the dash and it will be in within a few weeks.

So moral of the story is, do not take the first dealers "no" as gospel.
Update;

The 2nd dealer I took it to replaced the entire dash (apparently you can't just replace the leather pieces ... it's all or nothing) but they did an awesome job and I can't complain with the quality of work performed.

Has anyone installed either a carbon fiber cold air intake or a 4 point harness on their cars and if so, where did you get them? I have found a few intakes but the carbon fiber usually say "Z06 only"??? As for the 4-point harness, I've found black, silver and blue (pretty close to the tension blue) but not sure which ones are the most compatible? I have competition seats. Thanks!

So!

I have this random theory about the Tension Blue hash marks... You guys think it's a dig at the Mustang? Considering how popular this color has been for Mustangs since the 60s (+ with the latest California edition) PLUS Chevy using the word tension in the color name just sort of made this thought click in my head

Hi Guys - If anyone is interested in this book, the on line seller that has the same name as a South American river (not sure if I can mention the name due to forum rules?) has a sale on right now. $24.88 - save $20.07 / 45% over regular price of $44.95.

^ Very nice - Pete does some really good work. It's on this very thread where I found out about him, and got some work done with my C7 "under the hood", so to speak.

There it is! Finally posted! I've been waiting for this to be revealed formally, welcome!!! I will get the registry updated app, hopefully by year end (begins on a few), recovering from my knee replacement this last Monday but getting better every day!

Nice job in picking up this very special and unique GSCE. Would be great to know from @calloway if they converted any other GSCE 'a or is this the only one?

Well you helped me make this decision so thank you Paul! And knee replacement surgery is rough but I'm sure you'll be fine in no time

Default 2nd Gear.

I have had #632 since Sep. I put 3k miles on it and I have noticed that it is becoming difficult to put it in 2nd gear. I have an appointment next week to get it looked at. Does anyone else have shifting issues? Still getting used to the 1st to 4th forced shift.

Before and after C7 Z06/ GS Brake calipers we powder coated for a customer who has a C7 Collectors Edition 🙂. What do you guys think?

We can powder coat any c5, c6, c7 brake calipers any color you want and we have cores so you don’t have to put your vette on stands while waiting for your calipers to come back from us
