I didnt go far, but I got it out to test

Mine is my DD so I have to drive in the snow and when you put it track/wet it is amazing in the snow. Lots of fun and wait until you take it to the track= Maximum Fun! I've already had mine at the track once and I've only owned it 3 months.

Looks good from here. :-)
For the money you saved, have a good paint guy repaint same color and skip all the jambs and inside the panel parts. The paint will then be even and shine better than factory. I've had cars that were repaired...you'll always see the difference and it can drive you nuts. Also should store in winter.

Also keep in mind paint on metal vs plastic will not be exactly the same.

It might look different in person but I can just barely tell in the pics. For $42,5 you can be damn sure I'd be keeping it even with that little issue.

Wouldn't think twice about it, SS < ZL1 with minor paint discoloring

I would drive the "HE double hockey" sticks out of it and avoid driving under fluorescent lighting! Enjoy!! As many have said before your car will earn a few beauty marks soon, and the paint issue is only there under certain conditions. Don't waste money trying to repaint as the match may not be better, and likely could be worse.

Couldn't be happier! Was at a meet Sunday and asked several people to find the repaint and no one was able to. I also got offered 45.5 for it after I shared with a guy what I paid. Guy said "I'll make you 1000 on the spot and buy it from you"

RaySouth · 02-05-2014, 09:18 PM

If you sell I think you will regret it. The ZL1 as you know is way more car than the SS.

Hell no, I laughed. (Primarily because taxes are over 4% in va so I'd still be loosing money). But for now, cars not for sale

Some day you may want to repaint anyway.

Drive it, love it, live the dream.
