Hello car enthusiasts with taste!!

I just wanted to introduce myself on this forum, throw a couple pictures up, and say how thankful I am that we have a dedicated Canadian forum. I've already read some very informative posts on here and hope that I can contribute a few of my own. In the interim, here are a few pics of my first Corvette. Mods so far are simple; New Forgelite Wheels and PS4S tires (Z07 package came with Cup 2R's), Paragon lowering collars, full color PPF, and a number of CF upgrades on the interior.

Cheers!

Welcome and enjoy your stay. Take a look around the site and you’ll find some interesting Corvette threads as well as several “ off topic “ ones for various interests. Just curious as to why you weren’t satisfied with the available GM colour options. Wraps aren’t exactly inexpensive but then again what is.

That's a good question, and the short answer is, regardless of the color I ended up with, I always intended to PPF the car. In doing my research for the best PPF and a good shop, I learned about colored PPF, and that for only a few grand more, I could change the color of my car so I kept that in mind while looking for a deal on a C8 Z06/Z07 with the options I wanted. I didn't anticipate doing it as the only color I don't like on the C8 is the Rapid blue...but guess what color the car I found was. So rather than pass on the deal, I pulled the trigger on the color wrap. Now the car is fully protected and its a color I like.

Looks sharp! Does the lowering cause issues with your ride quality or clearance?

Zero impact to ride quality as this maintains the factory springs and travel, but the ground clearance is impacted by about an inch up front, 0.75" in the rear.
