Thanks! I am really happy with how it turned out. I have a guy who did the work so I am unsure on the paint he used. He also has a printer/program that printed out the "corvette"

A not so rare photo of my ticking off the Smart Driver app by daring to keep the car out past curfew.

For those who are leery about AO's color being "dull"...same car, no filters in bright daylight and dusk...car POPS all DAY! I've never received more compliments on a cars color than this one.

Speaking of Amplify Orange ...

Should we be surprised that, when soliciting offers from online buyers for my '22, orange (not specified as "Amplify Orange") increases the value by $3k + ?
And to note, orange added the most of any of the other colors that were available for the '22 MY.

And now for the gratuitous photo ...

Looks great! What wheels did you go with? Look like Aerolarri Hurricanes?!? Not sure of the finish on them but I like it.

@dreamr616 Finish is UFO Glazed - perfect for my taste - not bright and not dark - right in the middle.

Pretty car! I really like the black nacelles, and the natural 2 tone interior goes really well with the Amplify Orange exterior. What kind of fabric bra is on the nose of your car? I haven't seen many of those types of front end protection in recent years, but yours looks like it fits precisely, and looks great!

Love your car and the wheels! I have always liked the color orange, but never considered orange for my Corvette while I was still thinking about getting one. Once I saw photos of the C8 inn Amplify Orange, I knew that was the color I HAD to have! Great looking Corvette!

thank you! Was supposed to have the carbon 5 stars but my dealer messed my order up. They are on the way lol. Anyhow, thats a novistretch bra. Fitment is fantastic. I just use it with distance trips on the highway. Comes on and off in about 10 seconds with a few snaps and also comes with a little bag to stow it in. Works perfectly.

@CurtB58 Thank You. I'm not much for loud colors, but IMO, this car needs a color more in line with its body style, which is not subtle.
As an aside, I chose AO without having seen it live. I did the same when choosing Sterling Blue Metallic for my '17 GS.
Not a second of regret with either choice, and believe me, pictures do not do the color(s) justice.
Personally, I don't think you'ld be sorry .

I just got mine back from the detailer a few days ago, after a full body clear bra installation. I cannot believe my rotten luck, but after going almost a few years without any appreciable rain here in the Las Vegas Valley, on my way home, I ran into the most incredible deluge of rain I've seen here in over 20 years. The roads had puddles 6-8 inches deep, and my perfectly coated, impeccably clean C8 had to drive through these deep puddles in the midst of the deluge, and now every square inch of the car is covered in dirt, muck and road debris of every kind imaginable. I was so depressed, I was beside myself. And, I still can't even wash the car, because I hadn't purchased all the necessary equipment needed to wash a clear bra coated car with the horrendous water we have here. Hopefully, within the next few weeks, I'll have the deionizer, pressure washer, foam cannon, and miscellaneous towels and buckets, to give it the deep clean/wash it is now desperately in need of!! I hadn't ever intended to take the car out in any bad weather, but I was left with no choice in the matter...

Amplify orange is a difficult color to photograph. I spent the last few days around it and other colors at the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School, and my iPhone 13 Pro never seemed to capture the color quite right with photos; however, when using video mode I thought the color was very accurate to what I saw with my eyes. The photo below is from a professional photographer at the track, and they do some corrections/processing to get the color right - I think the photographer accurately captured the color for how it shows in bright daylight.
