Default I can not believe this is in my garage!
Hard to believe it has finally come true, my Silver Flare 2LT convertible is actually in my garage.

I'm loving the stinger stripes, I definitely recommend them to anyone thinking about it.

Purchased from All American Chevy in Killeen, TX. Drove her home to Austin this afternoon. PPF and Ceramic Pro on Monday. 33% of my break-in has been accomplished. Hoping to get another 100 miles on it tomorrow, can not wait for that redline shift!!

EXCELLENT!!! Normally not a big fan of stripes but those are a very tasteful color & not too wide. They accentuate the hood crease well. All body color trim is also really nice 👍

I normally hate vinyl stripes of any type on a Corvette, but your are tasteful. Congrats!

Nice car! Are you getting full PPF or just the front and then ceramic coated?

Thank you everyone! Been out driving all day or would have responded sooner!!

I'm doing full front PPF (not complete car) plus ceramic pro. Garage is regular home garage but I did the cool flooring a few years back, highly recommended!
