wow Steven.. i love your style! "moar carbon fiber" but it's still very stylish and subtle. Now I'm tempted to go out to the AZ meet just to see it in person...
assuming you'll drive it out

damn Anil, laying down the hammer on Mr. Bell.
I mean... if he needs someone to help drive the 'Vette.. i'll gracious volunteer so he can take the Type S out
or better yet, you can pick me up from the airport in the 'Vette, much better than an Uber

I travel from KC to Dallas...at times I detour to DC and at times to California hahaha
all I gotta do is pay for the wifey's ticket
the paddle shifters are to turn rev match on and off...
so when you hit the right paddle shifter, it turn rev matching ON...the dash light/display changes (fucking cool) and you dont have the heel toe while downshift...
the left paddle shifter, turns the feature OFF...
pretty sick!

Thank you boys!
Thoi, the Stingray WILL be there all weekend!
Also, on the paddle shifters, there are the "lower" paddle shifters that will be installed too. These control radio volume and can advance stations or songs that you're listening to.

Final piece of the puzzle????? Maybe.....
Today the Carbon Fiber paddle shifters and steering wheel switches were installed. The weather has been overcast, so the pictures aren't great.......

C'mon now, you know that itch will need to be scratched in a few months if not weeks.
If i do make it out, I'm definitely going to have to bring the dSLR and take a couple shots... for... documentation purposes

None....zero!
Of course, of course! Bring yourself, bring your camera. You can ride with me for the cruise to dinner Saturday night.
Honestly, there is a LOT more Carbon Fiber on the market. None of which I want for this car. The only other thing I'm considering right now are LED side markers.

I must be happy with 460 horsepower. Besides, the exhaust adds 20-25 more HP.

Forgot to ask you if you enjoyed the Corvette Museum Steven? Did you get a good look at the sink hole and rescued 'Vettes?
I met a few Challenger and Charger owners who are trying to organize a cruise up to the museum which sounds a little weird for a MOPAR cruise but looking forward to it lol.

I can't believe that a car that high end with LED's all over, didn't COME with sidemarkers LED!
PS...
I agree with Anil. Nothing crazy...just some springs...1 inch lower will make a massive visual distance from 15 feet away. Trust us...
As far as wheels...either of the ones he's mentioned would REALLY put you over the top, Steven. Seriously...ADV.1 would likely get you featured all over the place and in their ad campaign...shiett...you might be able to work a deal on cost in exchange.
