I have now installed the Sho 'n Sto removable plate mount with the cut down plate. This leaves the intercooler almost completely unblocked.





Very pleased with this product.

It's large marshmallows LOL. Actually I don't know if it's grass or hay. I suspect grass.

I'm in the process of buying one of these and I think I have selected the same wheels you have. Are they the Black aluminum wheels with Red stripe option?
Gorgeous.

These are the standard gloss black Z06 wheel. I did a 1/8" stripe with red pinstripe tape just to create an edge. Cost for 4 wheels: $10. It lays into the groove without too much trouble so it is possible to do a decent looking job.



These are Cup 2 tires and this wheel/tire set is now put aside for track days. They are scary tires on the street in colder temps or with ponding on the highway in rain. I bought another set of the same OEM wheels (from the dealer at a great price with sensors) for PSS tires for street use. On that set, I had red Alloygators installed at a tire shop; a bit expensive but good protection and they look great. Photos in the next outing. If I were ordering the car, I would spring for the black satin wheel with red stripe.

I see. I thought those wheels looked glossy. On the configuration page the ones with the red stripe are mat finish black and I'm not sure if I want those. I could do like you did and stripe them myself and save some money. Very good. Thanks.
