Dr.Ron has a SSB Carbon from NJ.

I'm looking for any of the orange stitched interior pieces, seems the consoles/steering wheels and brake levers all found their way to GM surplus sellers....

No issues with the downsize of tires? I was told I needed to keep the same tire difference ratio to avoid the computer having a heart attack.

In general. I am not crazy about blue on sports cars, but the SSB ZO6 carbons with the black rims and trim look AMAZING. It has a very stealthy pissed off look yet moderate in tone (not blingy). This would be my color choice on a ZO6.

#131 checking in..

Please welcome me to club CE! Saying goodbye to my modded and well-sorted 2000 FRC will be painful, but the medicine for that illness is my SSB CE!

Please add me to the list.

New Steering Wheel for #199

After 29k it was time for a new steering wheel, the original was getting
worn and slick. A big thanks to "Mikes Custom Steering"!

Black mirror/splitter/rocker paint code

Does anybody have any idea what paint code the black pieces on the Carbon are? I'm trying to match the black color on the splitter. Any ideas? I can't seem to find any info on the code....

I believe it's just gloss black.

Look at the last 5 digits of the VIN.
It should be 00252 or lower.
