2008 VY Z51 Pics with 19/20 Black Crays (Finally)

This is my third Corvette and second C6. I am very pleased to say that it is also the best of the three! Took delivery last week and already have 500 miles! So far I've added a Pioneer AVIC D3, External DVD player, XM tuner with XM traffic, 5% Tint, 19/20 black Crays... Enjoy the pics... Many more mods to come....

Baby's first bath!

You took her to a car wash for her first bath???

If you don't catch hell from the purists out there I'll be shocked.

That doesn't look like a touchless car wash.

That is the carwash at the dealership where I work... There is a high-pressure wand just inside the bay that I used to HANDWASH the car. I don't think I would ever run the 'vette through that automated cloth beating! Thanks for all of your concerns... BTW, the tint is NOT legal. It is 5% on sides and back.

Car looks BAD ***! and don't worry about people giving you crap about washing your car in the car wash. These are the same people that would rather wash their car than drive it.

I have 18"/19" Crays, which I believe have the same offset as the 19"/20" setup. THEY DO NOT STICK OUT. With stock sized tires, they are perfectly flush with the fenders, which IMHO, is exactly the way they should look. I don't have a photo taken from the exact angle that shows this, but take my word for it. I wouldn't have them if they stuck out. They look great the way they are.
