Indeed, indeed. I for one don't want to overdo the carbon accents on the interior, but it's hard to know when to stop, heh. Thinking about their CF cover for the left side of the dash and around the start button, and maybe the ring around the steering wheel airbag, but that's gonna be it.

Awesome car that I just cannot love. Ugly as a camels ass. Especially this picture (not your picture taking - the car).

Manufacturing and shipping took 5 weeks total, and they committed to 6-8 weeks on their website, so that's lightning fast in my books.

All I need to do now is summon the courage (think clock spring & that frikken red-threadlocker-lubed T50 center bolt, you guys know the deal), and maybe more tools, too

Push comes to shove I can always chicken out and trot on over to the dealership, they're very friendly and do have a real pro in the shop.

I just built a $1700 steering wheel I might just have to have when my Alcantara wears out.

As for the OP -

I paid $44 for fuel (smiles per gallon) Shell - my go to, drove to work and home with the top down. I did crank up Black Summer instead of listening to the car for that 3:54

I would not mind it if it could actually corner and didn’t weigh 8000 pounds with 200 foot pounds of torque,it would fit nice in the collection

LOL Fran!

I agree that the C8 isn't the best looking performance car out there. I am not sure I would go as far to call it ugly as a camel's ass. In my opinion the Z06 actually looks better than the base C8. And I'd certainly like to drive one.

Hmm, maybe Fran was right after all, this sharkskin color definitely looks sweet

Thanks arpad_m. I ordered the spoiler in primed fiberglass and had a local shop paint it in satin black.
Sharkskin is really a unique color. Depending on the angle and the lighting, it may take on a different hue. Sometimes it actually does look like the color of a shark. Fran was definitely onto something when he chose this color

The spoiler looks great on the car. I also like the contrast of the black on the Sharkskin. Great combo.

Thank you ZPirate. I'm so happy that I was able to buy this car before they are no more. I love my Sharkey.
