Thanks, when I told my son I had bought another Corvette he just shook his head and said "Dad, you're incorrigible". Hmmmm, seemed like a good idea for a plate.

Car is about 5 weeks old with 300 miles on it. I have had new wheels, side skirts, front splitter and splash guards put on it. Windows were just tinted with ceramic tint at 70% all around and Xpel was put on all key areas. Opti-Coat pro plus was added to all other areas. LED lights put on license plate frame and cargo area. Still need to mount my blend mount and radar detector and a couple more items but I'm close to finished.

Wow Wonka, looks great. Hope you get by with that window tint. IMHO cops stopping and ticketing for tint and no front plate is a "CS" ticket but I have heard some scary stories lately. Are you bringing your Z to the "Hooters All Corvette Show" next Saturday?

It's not a daily driver so I'm going to see how it goes. If needed I'll make some changes. What is a CS ticket?

AKA (also known as) a "Chicken S**t" ticket. I understand (and resemble) your not a daily driver deal. It's just, for me, an expensive thing to install and then have to "rip off" when cited. I went for 50% 'cause I have no *****. However, I really like the look you have.

70% tint lets 70% of visible light through, 50% lets 50% of visible light through. So your not as CS as you thought.

I've got 90% 3M Crystaline on my truck (front doors & windshield). So I guess I'm CS. But I like to see at night.

Actually, you are correct and if you research it, Z06's come factory tinted at 70%. Now if an additional 70% ceramic is put on, I'm really unsure what the total percentage of light reduction is but, the manufacturers of ceramic tint products claim considerably greater UV reductions over OEM. So it's a win/win. Also small point, it is not I that would be CS, it's the LEO's I was making reference to.

Better a Corvette parked next to you rather than the black car on the other side of the C6. Holy bird crap!

Sex on wheels! Speaking of wheels, what brand and style are those?

You are 100% right on! I went from the same a 99 C5 Vert to a Z07 M7. Could of bought a house instead but the old one helped out on the down payment.

Getting our ready for the up coming track season





The 99 went to Denmark of all places and now a female name Kim is enjoying it. Thanks Ebay!
