    Grand Sport Clear Bra

    Had it done on my 2013 Grand Sport. Automotive Appearance Pros in Columbus, Ohio did mine for $800. Had it applied to the bumper, bikini cut on hood and the front portion of both fenders. AAP uses Avery-Dennison products which seem to be almost bullet proof. As Hib mentioned, my car being white...

    Grand Sport Where to get a good deal on a new 2012 Grand Sport coupe?

    1analguy, I will be trading my 2013 White-Cashmere/Ebony 3Lt GS in at Coughlin/Ohio next month when my new Cyber Grey one comes in. Less than 2,200 miles with all the goodies. I can send pics if you would like. Just something to think about! If your interested, call Terry Goodin @ Coughlin...

    2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette Caught Again With Upscale Interior

    Opinions Since I'm new to Corvette ownership, the C6 design is still fresh to me, even though it's been around for quite some time. I can appreciate that to those who have been fortunate enough to have owned one for a while, your ready for a design change. That being said, I would easily spend...

    How old is the "average" C6 buyer?

    Hi all

    I went from an 11 C6 GS to a 13 C6 GS. Can't compare them to a C5 but the 13 is a much better car than the 11. Hope you are enjoying your ride!

    Show off your C6's!!

    A few pics of my 2013 GS that I ordered in April and took delivery on June 4th. I think this might be a rare color combo as I'm seeing that most white ones are the 60th anniversary edition. The red brake calipers really pop against the white.

    Help with tire wear/alignment

    Please bear with me as I am new to the corvette world and I just didn't want to appear as a know it all. Have you had yours aligned outside of GM specs? As I stated, I think I'm going with somewhere between -0.1 and -0.3 degrees camber. With my suspension and tire setup, GM has much more...

    Help with tire wear/alignment

    I will immediately admit that most of you guys know much more about Corvettes than I do, but my research results show that camber setting is not only determined by the suspension (FE1, thru FE5) but according to the tires. GY Eagle F1 Supercar GEN 2 specs call for 0.5 degrees more negative...

    c6 oil consumption

    I would not feel the least bit foolish. We can only go by what we read (owners manual) and are told by our dealerships corvette specialist. At least it sounds as if your mechanic knows what he is talking about. Will try his process tommorrow. Thanks for the update. Growing old is manditory...

    Grand Sport In need of advice from C6 expert body technician

    If your speaking in terms of the paint job, it will not discolor as it ages. What I meant to say, was I have seen a clear bra on a white car and it appeared slightly yellow. Not sure yet, but I think I'm going to chance it. Did you have a bra on yours? Thanks

    Grand Sport In need of advice from C6 expert body technician

    Just an update concerning the repair to the front bumper. Looks as good as new, but I want to protect it with a clear bra. I have seen many on other colors and they were almost invisible, however I hear that they have a tendency to appear slightly yellow on a white car. Anyone with a white car...

    c6 oil consumption

    I unfortunately have to agree with Catbert on this one. Mine came approximately one quart low . In fact, the corvette technician at my dealership thought the preceedure was to check the oil on a dry sump system when the motor was running. The manual is quite clear on how to check your oil. Real...

    Grand Sport In need of advice from C6 expert body technician

    That's what I want to hear. To be honest, I'm not worried about a successful repair. My real concern is dirt and dust from being in a body shop. After all the car is only 4 weeks old and still brand new. I just needed to vent my frustration with other Corvette owners. Thanks for listening and...

    Grand Sport In need of advice from C6 expert body technician

    Fortunately the repair area is small and will allow the painter to spot (blend) the color within the bumper itself and then clearcoat the whole bumper. Have you had any problems with your bumper since its replacement?

    Grand Sport In need of advice from C6 expert body technician

    I got good news from the insurance company handling the claim. They agreed and wrote time to remove, disassemble and refinish the bumper off the vehicle. This insures that no overspray can get on the grille, center air intake or the black moldings around the headlights, just to name a few...

    Grand Sport In need of advice from C6 expert body technician

    I'm sick to my stomach. My new 2013 GS with only 600 miles was hit in the front bumper today. The damage is to the paint but thankfully will not require parts replacement. I can provide pictures and further details to anyone who is experienced and specializes in C6 repairs. The front bumper will...

    How old is the "average" C6 buyer?

    60 years old I have always said that before I die I want to own Corvette or Shelby GT500. Well, I ain't dead yet! Bought a new 2011 GS Coupe/Auto in August of 2011. Already traded it for a 2013 GS Coupe/Manual a couple weeks ago. My left leg still works fine making the fun factor much greater...

    Grand Sport New 2012 Seats

    Seats Just traded my 2011 GS/w 3LT for 2013 GS/w 3LT. I can tell you that the new design is soooo much more comfortable it is unreal. Much better seat buttom and much more lateral support in the shoulder area.
