Default C8 Tron

We are proud to be one of the sponsors of C8 Tron. Come see it at Corvettes at Carlisle. This car is not for everybody so remember what your mother said.

My mother always told me to call them the way you see um, but I will reframe from that advice in this case.

A little too much going on for me, but if the owner is happy, that's the only thing that counts.

We will be stopping in Carlisle on Friday to see the C8 Tron, Bee and the Gang, and lots of other beautiful Corvettes. Then on to Williamsport PA for the 75th anniversary Little League World Series games. One heck of a road trip in our 2021 arctic white C8 !

The way you worded it I assume your not looking for opinions but... this is a public forum so im sure you'll get plenty... that being said: It seems a little overdone to me. TJ Hunts wife did the Tron thing way better, dark green color with dark reflective vinyl so it only popped the Tron look when certain light hit it. Way more subtle and clean. To each their own though. I'm sure the boomer crowd at carlisle will eat it up. I'm sure ill get flamed for this comment but I just can't get with this kinda stuff.
