Why do you have two brake pedals?? How did you get a carbon fiber key fob?
I have had my Vette for a Month now and have just over 1000 miles on it. Had the weather been good I probably would have double that.

Hahaha the one is for the front brakes and the second is for the rear brakes, limited edition The carbon fiber key is just a cover got it off Amazon, very happy with the fit and finish of it. Sadly I only have 86 miles on her at the moment, took delivery with 5 but the weather has limited me as well.

Thank you very much, I am old school and love chrome. Not a fan of black wheels at all, they just look dirty in my opinion.

Great looking C7 coupe in the perfect color combination!

Although I may be biased on the colors myself................

Really like the chrome wheels and three pedals too!

Here's too many miles of smiles and enjoyment.

one of the dealers who post informational video had one on NOT covering a newly pained car for a period of time before the paint cures Created issues with finish- be cautious about covering

Thank you very much for the tip! I will have to look that up. She was built on 10/18/18, do you know how long I shouldn't keep her covered for by any chance?

I've was told a min of 30 days before covering your car with a cover. Some say 60 days or more. I won't be putting my storage cover on mine till around Christmas since my car was built at the end of September.

That's not a toy son! That's one bit of fine American Automobile Engineering!

BTW Where did you get the carbon fiber for the key fob?

Thank you very much! Mine was built on 10/18/18 so I guess I will be pulling the cover off tonight when I get home.
