C8 update
Apologies, but I had to make a new thread now that she has her new shoes on.
Absolutely loving every minute of it...shoot, I might just go to sleep inside the car tonight!

Jesse, I am sorry to be the one that honestly replies, but that is the ugliest vehicle I have ever seen. HOWEVER….I want to help. Let's arrange a one to one swap; my 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid for that…. Car.
You will thank me in the long run ol pal |

LOVE the color! Congrats! They really made substantial improvements on the interior and quality control. I've driven my mother's C8 a few times and really enjoyed it.

The 9 hour road trip happened from pickup in Atlanta back home to FL! But once we move to Monterey here in a month, oh boy. I've already told my wife about the PCH trips, Napa, Sequoia, Yosemite...I GUESS we'll have to take the SUV sometimes to bring the boys along, but it'll be hard to leave this guy at home.

Ah too bad you weren't in Atlanta for a while longer. I could take you to some amazing driving in the north GA mountains.
Car looks sharp. |

I think I'm going to enjoy it in it's current state for now, as many of the car folks around TRF have advised. I do have a splitter that I have to install and I'm going to darken the white part of the taillights, but those are minor.

It's funny - a year ago, we wanted a fun 3rd car to take the boys in; that was the 1-series. Driving that thing made me realized I wanted more power / something newer with more bite. Didn't think it would be a Corvette, but the C8 just lured me in way too deep!

umm, this is FL. It's not about darkness, it is about reflecting those searing rays. And yes you want the front top strip. Your hands on the steering wheel will thank you when entering the car. Yet yeah, i feel she needs a few shades darker. Not 'Stormtrooper' dark, just a bit darker. imho, all good either way.
