Default Carlisle Prep Pics. Post 'em up!

Started two weeks ago adding a bunch of stuff.

today is the (almost) final prep. Still have ACS front splash guards en route.


Wife asked what are you doing (with the look of lets go out its beautiful today). Told her opticoating the wheels. She didnt appear interested really? ...lol..

got the steering wheel and Gear shift changed yesterday. So glad to have alcantara back (had it in my C6).


Leaving Thursday am... cannot wait...

ACS splash guards are on and car is half packed.



Gone are the 10 prolly flaps! Between the xpel and those I'm hoping all good


Two large Adirondack locking chairs. 12x12 pop uo... yes. A 12x12 lol... tons id other roadside kit, entire washing polishing accesories clothes etc.

Hasn't even encroached on the front if the divider! Cannot believe how much this car holds.
I wouldnt jave thought my C6 cpild fit this stuff and here the C7 without issue.

I placed a twin black soft sheet under all of it so the plastic interior pieces stay scratch free.


Wife surprised me with matching official licensed C7 shirts shipped by amazon..in time!

16/C7Z can you tell me what size and model canopy you're using in the photo. I need shade on my sunny driveway for detailing, also. Does it work well for you?

Quik shade 12x12. Awesome on so many levels. Had it for about 10 years. I usually time it right and don't need it but man was it sunny other day lol.

my buddy has a 14 x 10 but i like mine better the width makes it easy to get shade iver 80% of the car at all times and I can put it up and take down myself. Just awesome.

I lower on side if the sun is coming in low helps a lot as well. Independent height makes that possible all have that though.
