I wear that title with pride. And, I like chrome wheels too. I bet that really cements your thinking. Isn't it great that we all like different things.

Agree - I love the red on almost every body color except my LBR. I have grey which is okay with the LBR - but does tend to disappear unless you are closely examining them.

I got red heat resistant dia cut caliper vinyl stickers, they are reflective and fit over the original corvette printing. They look awesome, but were a Bi***' to install. Got them on ebay, $20.
