Default 2017 C7 GS new to our family

Just bought July 4. Not my first, have had several C2s, C3s, C4s, C6s.

Dig this car! Next steps, lower it, maybe black wheels, mild 2 wild (or pull the fuse), tinted center wicker bill to rear spoiler.

Fantastic! What about brake pads? Those nice chrome wheels would probably appreciate some that are not the stock dusty brand. If you do intend to get new brake pads what are you going to buy? Thanks.

Congrats. You've owned a lot of classic Corvettes, I envy you that experience. I've only owned a C5 and C6 prior to my 2017 GS. Wishing you many miles of trouble free driving in your new to you GS. Great color choice by the way!

Very nice!!! My Vette is like your car, expect that I have a white stripe in the middle of my car.

Awesome. Looks great. Wheels look fine but black would be even better. Enjoy.

"Ruin" it with the black wheels! Chrome is way out of style
