Finally joining the C8 club!
Picked up my C8 Z51 a couple of weeks ago, had Phoenix Performance lower it, install paragon spacers and do a track alignment. Then had KPElite apply Xpel stealth to the whole car and tint the windows! Both companies are awesome!
Hopefully I will get the 1500 mile track break-in done before the fall to make it to VIR.
Previously owned a C6 Z06.

The Stealth Xpel looks fantastic!

Your car and the grey C8 posted up recently with the Xpel Stealth look outstanding. IMO two of the meanest looking C8s on this forum. I suspect the people who don’t like it probably wear New Balance shoes and Life Alert necklaces.

Congrats on your C8 - looks pretty good with the stealth Xpel installed.

Sorry, my reply of 'Funny, my dad asked "Where is all the chrome?"' was meant for this comment. Definitely a generational thing.

Kits....and chrome bolts--you know, to make it look "nice" 🤦🏻♂️😂🤣 New Balance are heat. . And everyone will get old if their lucky. If the OP wants to make his new C8 look like it was hit with Krylon High Build primer from O'Reilleys--terrific, but you judging someone for thinking it looks terrible says alot about your character.

Or perhaps it's as simple as they just have good taste.

I'm normally a fan of bright and shiny colors, especially on the C8, but that looks killer! Congrats on the new ride....would love your thoughts vs. the C6Z....my most recent vette prior to my inbound C8 was a C6 Grand sport.

Still in the 500 mile break-in on the C8 so once I can push it a little, I will post my opinion. But The C6 Z06 is my favorite car I have owned. I have had Porsches (911 & 968) Bimmers (540i,M3,M4), Mustangs, and Jags but the Z06 was the best street and track car combination. But I think the C8 has potential to surpass the C6 Z06.
