Thanks for the feedback. Right now I think it's just nicks in the clearcoat so a light compound might do the trick. I'll give that a try. I notice that you have a 96 LT4 White convertible. I had one just like that (black top, black interior) before getting the 2000.

I have a 2000 Convertible, Dark Bowling Green Metalic. Lately, I have noticed pits from sand or small debree from the highway on the nose of the car. Is this something that can be polished or compounded out? Other than a cover for the nose, which I don't like, is there anything that can be done...

I recently had an experience with my run flat tires that I thought I would share. I was on the beltway in St. Louis doing 60mph when I hit something in the road and my left front tire immediately went flat. The information center reported first low pressure, then said it was flat, then reminded...

When your car battery is disconnected or goes dead, the settings in the computer go away and the defaults are all that is left. You have to retrain your key fobs. You can do one on setting 1, one on setting 2 and one on pressing both setting 1 and 2 simultaneously. If the battery goes dead on...

I have read and heard from others that anyone 6 foot 5 or over could not fit into a Vette. A few days ago I was talking with a person who is 6 foot 8 and was driving a 2005 coupe. He said his previous Vette was a 2000 convertible and that it was a little tight but both were just fine. I am 6...

I have 36,000 miles on my Vette and just replaced the brake pads and resurfaced the rotors. I am curious to hear from others here what your experience has been. Is this about average life of the brakes or should they have lasted longer?

I have read here from others that you have had trouble with the passanger window. I had been able to get mine to work again twice by slamming the door or hitting downward on the window, as if something was locked inside. It finally gave it up completely and the dealer replaced the register and...

You can get a touch up paint from Chevrolet parts dept.

The Bullets are definately LOUD. The noise in the car is extreme so you have to really like it. You won't hear your radio any more either. Since my 2000 is a daily driver, I took off the bullets and put a stock system back on.

I had the ticking noise, like a lifter out of adjustment, in my 2000. After the dealer listened to it, they said it was piston slap and that it was common and usually not a problem. It is obvious when cold but goes away as the engine heats. I believe there is a technical article on this...

When I got my 2000 it had 27,000 miles on it and had to have the rotors resurfaced (was getting that rocking while braking at slow speeds). This fixed the problem for me.

I disagree with most votes so far, I would leave it alone. There is nothing gained in making him feel bad or in thinking less of his Vette.

Gee. Whatever helps GM sell cars was good back then. Letting those close by subsidize delivery to those far away helped GM. I wonder if Oatmeal made one mile from one grocery store costs the same to deliver as that sent to Hawaii? Probably not, so are those costs shared across all consumers? I...

I recently had that problem and read that slamming the door might break it loose. I did that and it has been working ever since. Maybe this was as good as "rapping on the motor"?

Extended Warranty I bought my 2000 from a Chevy Dealer and the original warranty had already expired. I purchased the extended warranty and it saved me a ton of money. LS1 engines (maybe others) have a problem with piston slap when they are cold. Mine was considered excessive and Chevy...

I had a similar problem with my '96. The light that illuminated the information strip that gave you the time, channel, etc. was burned out. I had several recommend Doctor Don's http://www.doctordons.com/delcoradios.htm, who for a flat rate would clean, adjust, replace bulbs, replace drive bands...

Hey, does this come with a Corvette emblem embroidery?

Eagle One has a product called Nano Wax. It gets into all the micro scratches and elminates swirls and leaves an amazing shine. It's a liquid wax, you put it on and let it dry and wipe it off. My 2000 is Dark Bowling Green Metalic and the wax lived up to its advertising and left an amazing...

I have the light oak seats in my 2000. The driver's seat has developed a dark stain across the back at belt level. :( A local detailer told me that it is from my black leather belt and that the only way to get the stain out is to re-dye the seat.:confused Has anyone heard of this before and...

Patrick, I do like that black convertible you picked up. What do you drive in the winter or do you store them both?
