yeah parts is tricky. german ebay is pretty good. or it's that dreaded import duty.

I'm scheduled to get PPF installed on the front of my car on Monday. I hope mine looks as good as yours.

Will resist the "OK BOOMER!" response

To be fair, these guys looked like they were near their 80s. Aside from their age, seemed like there were C8s everywhere and it made my ZL1 seem that much more rare.

As for the 3M install, my installer left a few air bubbles. I don't think he clay barred as the salesman claimed he would. The car already had some imperfections when I received it, so I don't know how well he could've done without some really hard paint correction work (yes I understand we're not supposed to call it that anymore... ) I would go over the parts that you're getting done with a clay bar, or at least make sure you have it really clean. Looking forward to some pics.

Good advice. Thankfully most of the paint on my car was in great shape when I got it. After I got it home I clay barred it and used Zaino All In One on it. I'll still probably wash it again tomorrow and clay bar the front again before taking it on Monday just to make sure.

Boomers aren't the ones neccesarily buying C8s you know...... I'd love to have one, but once again GM in their infinite wisdom screws anyone tall from ever owning a Corvette. Hell, I'd prolly have C5 fleet right now if I could fit nicely.


But 1LE for the win, I love my 21 in Crush. If I ever have to redo my hoodwrap(we all know I will lol) I know where it's going. It's a large flat non complicated surface, so there shouldn't be issues with air bubbles or ripples.

Very happy with how this turned out. Shrader Performance ZL1 Kit.

Oh definitely, but the guys emerging from the C8s I saw at the dealership were definitely in that demographic, or had a short life of elicit drug use. For me the ultimate factor was the availability of a manual transmission. I'm glad the C8 wasn't offered with one as that would've made the decision much more difficult.

I washed her. Nothing like the looking like it came off the showroom floor look. LOL

Out and about yesterday. Took the wife to Hobby Lobby. Came out to find another Z in the lot. Get to the car, hear that LT4 fire up and turn and hear “hey it’s another one!” Waves and thumbs up ensued.

What are we looking at here? Rear seat delete? If so, looks great!

ETA: Nevermind, just noticed the post title, confirming rear seat delete. Very nice!

I was looking at that myself. As I am not married and have no kids. And No one is clearly going to fit in the back seat while I'm in the car.

But, I was also looking at the Roll Bar with rear seat delete kit. I figure I can fit maybe 2 x 10" subs in a custom built box after the seat delete.
