My first Vette was a C6 because it finally looked exotic to me. But the C7 took it to another level (interior and exterior). And my Z51 just flies effortlessly. Congrats!

If you intend to get a clear bra (paint protection film) in the future you may want them to have it installed before you arrive to drive it home. Enjoy!

Yes sir. I saw that GS in his post, and it didn't even register. I must be getting old......

Awesome, I didn't know that! I'm looking forward to it.

Does a great job keeping the bugs off. Minimal protection from rocks. I was interstate for the whole trip so no issues. Enjoy your ride home.

I asked for a quote to have Kerbeck install a 3M clear bra. If it isn't too much, I'll go that route.

I'm usually terrible at taking pics, but I definitely want to for this trip. Once in a lifetime!
