Absolutely beautiful Null. And like me, and many others I'm sure you enjoyed dealing with Mike. He's a genuinely nice guy.

BTW, I bought mine off the lot, and it also has the nickel wheels. I like them much better than I thought I would. The wife ask me when I was going to buy new wheels (she's know me too well). She was quite surprised when I said I'm keeping these. I've never done that before.

Awesome! If you want to put it on the track, Angelwings Tech has the bolt-in rollover protection solution.

Rebel -- Mike is very professional to deal with, knows his product, and makes the process swift and easy. I factory ordered mine with the pearl nickel wheels. I had them on my previous c7 and I liked them. I hope you're enjoying your new one as much as I am mine. Thank you for the kind comments.

It was for a while, then they took it out. So post up your verts so we can keep this thread alive, and maybe the admins will make it a sticky again.

Maybe because even though it's popular, it doesn't contain any really vital info? Most of the stickies are rules, announcements, or other recurring issues that people may want to address.

It doesn't really matter as long as it's popular enough (that will keep it on the first page), although I think the OP's intent was someplace (actual sub-forum) to address Vert-specific issues/concerns/brags/questions like the C7Z06 sub-forum.

I just traded in my 95 coupe for the 2014 C7 convertible. Bought the 95 new. Great car. Pretty bulletproof for 42,000 miles. Enjoy.

Dale, makes a good point; did your not Z06 not come with it's side skirts? They provide a lot of protection for your rockers/sides.
The body-colored venting really creates a different look, beautiful C7.
