But anyway, no need to make this an orange peel discussion. |

Well, I finally drove it home yesterday...
Wow. What an amazing car. I didn't get into it much at all, going to mind the break in, but just from driving it 50 miles yesterday, I'm very impressed. It drives so flat, stable, and it feels INFINITELY more nimble than my 5th gen ZL1 'Vert. It feels tight and small driving it in a good way. I can't wait to get the small mods done and I'll get pics up today or tomorrow if I pull it out. I made the right choice with the A10 too, such an amazing transmission, I may never go back to manuals if they keep making transmissions that are this good. |

Awesome looking ride!!! Do yourself a big favor and get them rock guards from ZL1addons! Those things are a must once them tires get heated up!

Spent about 8 hours on it today.
Full wash Decon (surprisingly amount of metal on the finish, purple all over with Adam’s Iron Remover) Clay Rinse and dry Full finishing polish (The paint came out great. But the clarity of the Carbon Fiber after polishing is really mind blowing, and the black trim polished out amazingly well) Sealant, Glaze and Paste Wax Wheel Sealant Glass Sealant And more... I did install all of my aesthetic mods too but took pictures before then so I’d still have some sun light for them. More pics coming soon. Absolutely love this thing. Pictures do these cars ZERO justice! *Edit* looks like all the photos posted correctly but the Carbon shot is flipped. Still get the point. |

Don't worry about orange peel. It is supposed to be there. It is a nice color. White is definitely good for summer.
Congrats

The white looks great. Congratulations on the ride. Some more black or carbon fiber details might give it a more aggressive look. Maybe a carbon rear spoiler?

I was thinking some black vinyl work soon. Don't tempt me on ordering the ACS spoiler, I'm already thinking about it. Perhaps wrapped mirrors and roof. Not sure. Changing out the taillights/3rd brake/sidemarkers/tinted reflectors got rid of a lot of the colors and made a big difference.

I envy how clean your car is, had mine at Gingerman last weekend, and it is absolutely filthy. I'll get it all cleaned up this weekend, looks like some nice weather heading our way for a change
