Default She’s almost here

Inspection and installation of the various dealer components including Scrape Armor grille guards is complete. She just needs a bath and then leaves in enclosed transport next week. Can’t wait!

I installed Scape Armor under the front lip of my C7ZR1. High quality products! I have rock guards and a crossbrace waiting in the garage.

It's a looker!
I suggest not letting the dealer was/prep the car.
Do it yourself.

Congrats. Beautiful Z.

I really like the row of buttons as well. Makes the interior unique and driver focused.

Nice choice of color and nice options including the interior and the cosmetic carbon accessories. The ceramic brakes are a nice touch as well. I hear they're going to discontinue rapid blue possibly - so if that's the case then it's good that you squeezed in just in time. Enjoy in good health and happiness.
