Beautiful car. Is it a wrap? If it is, appears to be a very high end job. Really sharp. Congrats!

Congrats! very nice car. I've always been hesitant to buy a wrapped car because you really don't know what's underneath.
Hopefully the silver is just as nice as the wrap .

I don’t know, I have aa good friend, who’s been detailing/wraps for a very long time, and have her evaluate the wrap. See if she can tell me anything about it. Also if she can get the color because I like it. It’s almost like an Army drab green.

On a side note, I already have wheels picked out, intake manifold CAI, throttle body. The wife asked me how far down the rabbit hole I was going to go? I smiled and walked away.😂

So I got a call from my salesman today. The car is supposed to ship tomorrow. A lot attendant that was cleaning the Corvette before shipping, when driving it to the back lot, he hit a parking post damaging the right front fender. I cant even at this moment in time. 🤬

You can see where it creased the bumper
