Default Finally ! New to me 2016 Shark Gray C7

Finally, after looking for months, I finally found what I wanted in my $$ range ! 2016 A8 Shark Gray metallic 2LT, Z51 w/ magnetic ride, full transparent roof, carbon flash badges and spoiler, BLACK RIMS ( yea ! ), black leather interior, battery tender, 23k miles, and even a Corvette watch ! Got a quick bath and out riding. With 23k miles, it obviously has not been a garage queen, and this C7 will continue to be driven like it is meant to be ! First thing to get - carbon flash stinger stripe!!

Congrats on your new to you SG. You got all the major options and I love SG. Might want to think about some side skirts to protect your door from getting dinged as you drive. They have worked for me. I have 46,000 miles and the skirts work.

I like that color a lot. But lose the fish on the fenders and the car will look much better.

Congratulations on finding exactly what you wanted. It may have taken a while but you now have a really beautiful looking car that will bring you years of enjoyment. I'm sure that you will conclude that it was well worth the wait.

Nice looking ride you got there. I would also second the side skirt comment. Had my 2016 Z51 2LT for 2 years and not a single ding.
