I don't know how much this car has been driven but there is already damage on the radiator fins. This is worrisome.

Did you expect it to stay pristine? Ever shine a flash light in the front of a C7?

im guessing there will be an insert to cover that exposed fuel filler neck at some point.

Exact same issue with Porsche 911... many aftermarket protective screens are available.

Thanks for the pics. The lighter color seems to blot out some of the lines of the car esp. in the rear. Like it w/o the spoiler. As to the design drawings in the first pic, not for me. Don't care for them.

The shown off cars seem to be well covered, heres a Z51 that was sitting in the parking lot. I will say the center row of buttons is less obnoxious and intrusive in real life than it looks in pics

I know, I think it looks better too. Maybe on the c9....

1. That's the convertible.

2. Neon yellow doesn't go nicely with much... let alone burgundy!

It does not! I think it could go good with the Arctic White or whatever the black is called tho.

I did like the burgundy on tan combo a lot more than I thought I would.

Yeah it'd look cool with white, silver, or black. It'll be interesting to see if it actually comes close to the new yellow. In the GM 22 video set it didin't look close at all. Kind of like how the orange calipers on the sebring design package are way darker than the actual orange.
