I heard on the Corvette Today podcast from Keith Cornett of Corvetteblogger.com that all the C8.Rs are officially spoken for. All 1000 sold in just the September and October allocations.

you can’t tell anything from the VIN except if it is a 1, 2, or 3LT, coupe or convertible, and type engine. VIN won’t even breakout Z51.

I am having my mirrors and wing end caps wrapped in red prior to ceramic coating next Tuesday. I am also having the calipers painted red.

It's appears that you have no concerns about retained value of the Limited 1000 Special Edition with these changes, have you conducted any research regarding the potential value impact if any?

I'm asking since I'm going to make some changes to my #644, but all of my changes are going to completely reversible... Front Splitter, Side Skirts, AWE Exhaust, Tinted Windows, Front Grill Guards.

The retained value? I have investments, this isn’t one of them. I bought the car to enjoy it!

The reason I asked, that VIN is setting on a used car lot, I've not looked at car, but I checked dealers web page, they just added C8R decals.
