Completed the swap today for my Z51 Coupe

I am now the owner of the greatest color I’ve ever had on a Vette







I can’t believe how amazing this combination looks in person

I'd had a difficult time swapping the silver for the blue, but as long as you are pleased that's all that matters.
Hope this one is trouble free.
By the way, I believe this one was used with very low mileage, did you have the dealer run a VIS report on it?
