We'll see how it works out. The rear seat folds down if i need room. The problem with the kits is if you have a rear flat you're putting the spare on the front and then the front goes on the back. I may spring for the modern spare but for the time being this works for me.

Decided on a 2021 makeover, wrapped the beast in satin dark gray! Love the new look!

I ended up getting the Modern spare kit. It's still is a few inches higher than the floor but it fit pretty well in the spare well. You make some very good points about having to swap the tires around if I get a flat but we definitely agree the current inflator kit isn't a good solution for us. One of the last times I had a flat it was a railroad spike I ran over - an inflator wouldn't have worked in that situation. The peace of mind was worth the money.

Edit: Room for sub, gun safe and chairs!

Agreed. I've debated for quite a while on what to do. Since I recently got new wheels, using one of the old wheels was a cheap solution. Just $30 for a scissor jack. I just had a flat on my truck but that has a spare. Much rather spend 30 minutes changing a tire than waiting for a tow and having the car damaged.

Great color scheme! I see you got the z28 style rockers and splitter. Looks very nice.

Just got mine out of the shop. AC condenser belt broke, which cause a bit of carnage to the front main seal - $600. Might want to change that belt along with serpentine when that time comes.

I made this purchase last month but saw it in person for the first time today. I was not disappointed. It was immaculate and there were no surprises.

This forum is a wealth of information but it can fuel my paranoia. I flew from Calgary to Kelowna this am with thoughts of finding blend door issues, convertible top problems, water on the floor etc.

So far no issues on my 7 hour drive home. Rain forced the top up after two hours but it was a fun, scenic trip.

Wow man, she's beautiful! Congratulations on an amazing ride!

You ain't joking about that scenery either, eh?
