Default 1686 has shipped to VA!!!

Well, all I need to do now is pick it up at The dealership late next week sometime. The car shipped yesterday from Bowling Green according to my dealer. I guess my first stop will be changing the tires to Michelin AS3’s.... and I’ve already scheduled for a full expel wrap and going to use their new product for ceramic that was designed to go on glass, there PPF and rims. Lots of pictures to follow. I feel like a nervous schoolboy on his first date. LOL

Thanks, I’m just crossing my fingers it arrives safe and sound and that the silver paint matches on all the panels. Silver is almost as hard to match as black. I’ve been a little worried seeing all the paint problem posts lately.

Always a good day when you get that news, congrats. My last silver Z06/Z07's paint was excellent, hope yours is the same.

Have your dealer turn on OnStar and you can use location services on your smart phone to follow the transport truck.

James it may help you to sleep to know my paint is as close to perfect as I have ever seen on any car. Panels all match, under any light condition and there is no orange peal I mean NONE I have shadow gray I think you can tell on that color if the shades are off easily. I have done lots of restorations and painted a dozen or more cars I can tell bad paint. Anyway thought this might ease your mind!!!!!!!
