I just ordered ceramic coating from Adams Polish. A friend of mine has used it and raves about it! I'll let you guys know how it goes. Not excited about all of the polishing I'll have to do first, but it will be worth it. I've used other Adam's Polish products before and they rock!

The previous owner went to a 18" front 19" rear combo. I believe so the rear could be the street slicks. The front tires are the same overall diameter but they do have more sidewall than the previous 19"

I'm new to the vette world, so i think that's whats going on?

Car looks great. All that is fine but what really counts is when you get on it. Thrilling! Of course I do like the black.
