Now if it was a hard top vert like the new C8 it would’ve been a must have.

I would love a hard top like the C8 but it is what it is. Had to have the vert to relive my youth. LOL

Not sure this link will work but Amazon has some very inexpensive side markers now. This set is $65 and saw another set for $40.

I haven't installed my Hero's yet. Will put up picks when I do.

Well, I've been floating around this form and finally got my Fifty today, so I thought I'd make my first post. I'm in the Detroit area (Birmingham). Unfortunately, the previous owner had a little parking accident so he destroyed the front splitter. I'm in the process of having the dealer I bought it from (in Kansas) buy a new one for me. I bet this is the highest mileage 2017 Fifty around! I don't think the previous owner was on this forum as I haven't been able to locate this one. It has 97,900 miles lol.

Welcome to the club! Based on the mileage I guess the previous owner really REALLY like driving it. I'm sure you will too.

I bought some of the Lloyd's Mats ... I dug right thru them ... I guess all of the HEEL & TOEing isn't really made for these mats. MAYBE I need a good mat with the rubber inlay

I have only 15k miles on it and an A8 so not much foot action going on but I don't see any signs of wear yet either.

palindrome-1H · 07-13-2020, 07:10 PM

Thanks Biggjonn and AmericanMike! Yeah the only reason I felt comfortable buying it with 97k miles is the original owner kept it local in Kansas and always brought it to the dealership in which he bought it for service, so they had all the records of the car.

My purchase requirements were, at the time of purchase (2016) if a Camaro - VERT, if C7 - Coupe w/dual roof option. Manual was a MUST. Everything else was gravy.

My wife

s it.

I haven’t tracked the car but ran The Tail a couple of years back and I’ve been VERY impressed with how the car handles, even as a VERT. Felt like it was on rails.

Love both versions of the car. Really impressed with how the lines match between body styles.
