It's been a while since I've been on this site simply because I traded in my 2013 Grand Sport last summer. I took off my Halltech cold air intake system before I traded the car. Approximately 3K miles on it. It is compatible with 2008-2013 C6's. It's for sale. You can PM me if interested...

Same thing happened to me. My installer put a solid black film over the upper part of the back glass were the dots are, which helped but it still looked horrible. I was told that you can't take the dots off. I have never seen one that looked good. I traded the car for another new one and I will...

I think you got a great deal at $12k off MSRP let alone $15k. I didn't think GM rewards were good for Corvette purchases. WOW! Enjoy!

There is nothing wrong with the chrome face of the wheel, however, the factory finish on the barrel of many Corvette wheels is a very rough and dull finish that collects an extreme amount of brake dust and dirt that is very difficult to clean. Late model Grand Sport wheels, as you know, are just...

My opinion. Way over the top. I do not like much about the exterior styling. The rear quarter windows and back glass look like a rear view nightmare. As for the interior, I like the new layout, but what will make or break it will be the quality of materials. Hope the navigation system has been...

Newly painted wheels mounted. Here are just a couple pics of my newly painted wheels (silver barrels) mounted on the car. Need to let the clear coat cure for about a month or so before I can have them balanced. No problem because I'm in the process of prepping it for winter storage anyways...

I'm not sure, but I don't think you can powder coat aluminum wheels because the heat process in powder coating ruins the integrity (strength) of the aluminum. Can anyone else confirm this?

Thanks. I know that they won't pop like black or had I color keyed them (Cyber Gray Met) to the car. I wanted to retain the similarity to the stock look, but with an extremely durable, glossy finish that will wash easily. Black or Cyber gray probably would have looked great, but honestly I just...

Briefly talked to you and saw your car at the Coughlin car show in September. What a beast. I can't tame the power of a standard LS3 let alone what yours has.

Clearcoating aluminum wheels My sugestion would be to visit your local automotive paint jobber. PPG Industries has a multitude of urethane and polyurethane clears that are very resistant to yellowing and extremely durable. They can also supply you with the correct prep materials for auminum. It...

Check out the prices of Corvettes at Coughlin Chevrolet in Pataskala, Ohio (http://www.coughlin-chevrolet.com/HomePage?referrer=www.chevrolet.com). Terry Goodin will save you $8K to $12K on a new Corvette. They currently have two black 427's in stock (84 Vets total). I have purchased 3 new Vets...

I know your post has been online for quite some time now, but I'd sacrifice my left one to have your 59 sitting in the garage next to my 13 C6. Keep your head up with pride. :thumb Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional!:beer
