Car is in PDI - expect delivery Monday or Tuesday (ELBM is exactly as I had hoped, I can't tell the difference between it and Laguna Blue)

Before I lowered it.

Changing out pads and installing skip shift.

Ready for sunny days!

I get my z06 In a couple weeks and was wondering, does it go on/off your lift without rubbing the splitter or will I need to extend the ramps? My lift is a bendpak with 36" ramps with a 10 degree incline.

Grand Sports in Blue or White with the Heritage package get body colored spoilers. I think this may be because the traditional colors of GS's (63 and 96) were blue but some of the actual factory race cars were white. If I recall when the original GS's were being raced in events with international sanctioning bodies they had to be in USA assigned colors of white with blue trim.

i have 3 1x12” progressively leading to ramps. I put a 1x12 on the ramp itself to get splitter over the lip of the ramp. My car is lowered on the stock bolts.
Before lowering the car it had no issues up or down the ramps.

It goes in tomorrow for a complete condom job and window tint (shop says they need it until Friday, just in time to have it ready for the weekend!)

Supposed to take mine in on Friday. Not sure if I will do partial or complete coverage. I think the difference is about $1600. Never had a complete car but always full front, hood and rockers.
