Default Hey everyone!

Just picked up a 2021 C8, 1LT w/ Z51 addition. 16.5K on the clock.

Not sure what kit it has, but it has BC MLE72’s wheels. 20” rear & 19” fronts.

AWE Track Edition cat-back w/ black tips.

Just ordered Auto Addict’s Euro Style Smoked Sequential Tail Lights, EOS “HFC’s” and have Halltech’s intake and ARH in my sites.

Eventually, a heads and cam package w/ Performance Design’s intake manifold and larger TB w/ a FlexFuel tune.


First Corvette, so glad to be a member. Look forward to learning a lot.

Anyway, let me know what you think! 🍻



After a wash.

Another.

Looow… Need to raise it some.

Congrats on the ride.

Pull your hatch apart and check the intake before you buy one. A friend of mine, order an attack blue filter for his used 2022 Stingray and the car has one already.

Congrats. If that's your driveway, I think you need to be real careful going up it. That splitter might be a problem.

Nice!
Looking at the gap above the wheels, I would think it's been lowered.

Congratulation, beautiful black out mode there. Wondering if you are scraping the front when entering the drive way. My driveway has about the same angle and I get a little scraping from the front splitter.

🫡 Already done. - It’s the stock box. Everything appears to be stock other than the cat-back.
