HRE wheels in liquid metal rims, new Michelin all season run flats and Carbotech low dust brake pads installed.
Congrats on your AO C8!!! The HREs look great on it. Is the liquid metal finish a bright silver? Looks like more of a gray finish then silver from the pics.

Yes, liquid metal has more grey in it, that’s what I wanted.
I looked up the splashguards at American Hydrocarbon, and yes, they ARE expensive, particularly if you want them in body color. However, I might still be interested in them, if I can verify how they get attached. From the text that accompanies the splashguard page, it makes it sound as if there is no tape or drilling required to mount them. Can anyone explain the details about how they are installed? And, is there any chance that once mounted, they may rub against paint and leave marks, in the event that they are ever removed? Any help/info would be greatly appreciated!

There are a couple videos on youtube on how to install splash guards. You don't need tape or drill any holes, unscrew the 7mm crew from the bottom and pop out the OEM guard. You may need a plastic prying tool and some muscle to pry the OEM guard out.
A friend brought out his Sebring Orange C8. I parked my Amplify Orange next to it so you can get a good comparison. The Amplify is definitely brighter, and the signal is redder. Both look good.
Good catch on both colors. And you even got the Plymouth/Dodge in the overall pic. WTG!

Hoping my Z06 wheels will look that good. ^ ^ ^
To answer my own Q... They won't if these are on the base Z06. Too busy for cleaning purpose.
I like the KISS version HRE. Keeping It Simple _ _ _ _ _ _. But I'm not ordering any mod wheels (if needed) till after the Z is acquired. I learned from experience... the wife's reaction to seeing mod wheels magically appear in the spare bathtub for several months will be avoided.

c7carbon.com, mine are fiberglass, they make them in carbon fiber too I believe.
That's good to know that you can get them in a less expensive material. Are yours painted carbon flash? Just curious what they roughly cost. How was the fit on them?
Drove in to work. They technically had the open air levels coned off but i broke the rules like Chevy did with the mid engine. Just love looking at this car.
