Well I just bought an new 2025 E Ray. I was wanting to order one with my build but realized the wating lists I was on looked like a long long way out, so I compromised and and did it now. I have wanted to get one of these since they were introduced but in the mean time have thourgly enjoyed my 2023 SR HTC. I have been tracking the production and they have only been making 7 E Rays a day and it looks like that won't
change. So any one knows someone who wants 3lt, htc, z51, mag ride, with a natural dipped interior, and polished 10 spoke forged wheels here it is.

I also upgraded from a 2022 SR HTC to a 2025 Eray HTC (ordered from MacMulkin). I sold my Eray to Carvana. It was a very easy transaction -- they made an online quote, I accepted, they sent someone over to inspect it, handed me a check, and it was taken away by flatbed the afternoon of the inspection. No hassle or private negotiations. I suggest you get some online quotes fir your SR -- it won't be top dollar, but the lack of hassle may be worth it to you. It was to me.

Check with small dealers near you they may have an allocation. My small town dealer got an allocation 10/15/25 , my Eray was built 11/19 and delivered 12/9. Ordered to my spec

I early traded our 2020 Z51 3LT Coupe back in mid July for our Special ordered 3LZ Eray Coupe.

The Eray was built October 28, but didn't ship until Nov 17 or 18. We took delivery on Nov 22. LOVE IT !!!!!

I've done a number of mods thus far. Swapped my valve covers to some RipTide Blue ones, then installed all my Custom Trim Classics engine bay painted pieces, as well as a set for the Frunk.

Most recently, I installed my LeMans Edition Center Exit TRACK exhaust........ we had one on our previous 2020 and I really liked it, and it's sound.

And lastly, installed my Ultimate Pedals that I had previously had in my 2020....... and the Soler Throttle Controller since I had the gas pedal out......

Very nice! How was the quality and look of the custom trim classics engine bay surrounds? I was looking at the ACS composites but it is a pricey piece for what it is.

^^^^ Thanks ! The quality, AND workmanship, fit and finish are absolutely FLAWLESS...... All in perfect condition, paint finish, etc. Frank, the owner of Classic Trim Customs is adamant about everything being right. He will also customize any of these items as he did for me. I asked for Silver words "Corvette" on each side of the Frunk panels, as well as a Silver stripe around the perimeter of the upper Frunk lid panel. Same thing with the engine bay.... we walked through the fact that the Eray louvered panels be marked "Eray" with silver and carbon flash black along with the Stingray fish.

On the Engine cover, we walked through exactly where I wanted each color. He even did my engine fluid caps with RipTide Blue Metallic AND SILVER markings. All turned out a 10+ rating .....

Several years ago, on our previous 2020 Z51, I had my LeMans Edition Center Exit Track exhaust fiberglass 3 trim pieces drop shipped to Frank @ Custom Trim Classics to be Carbon Fiber Hydrodipped. He was over the top perfect on these as he even made sure that he had the direction of the Carbon fiber pattern running in the same direction as my lower rear diffuser so it all lined up properly..... unbelievable!!!! Super quality. When I traded the car in last July, those hydro dipped pieces looked as good as the day I put them on.

HAPPY CUSTOMER !!!

Oh yeah........ I forgot about the fact that I also installed my Wind Restrictor LED etched rear window panel. I previously had this in our 2020 and it had red LED light...... I re did it with BLUE LED for this car.
