I tried that stuff. It's got an odd shine to it. Like frozen ice on the surface of your finish or something.

That looks really nice.

The clearcoat on my 98 started to get cloudy & peel several years ago. I thought about having it painted, but sold it instead.

In my highly educated and influential opinion. You guys may quote me on this!

" The C5 was, is, and always will be the highest caliber Corvette you can own "

Had there been a factory wide body version there would have been no need to develop any other model of Corvette.

I can agree to a certain extent, had two of them ('97, '01). I can kick myself in the ass for selling the '01, I miss it.

I know I'm exaggerating a bit, but it is my favorite body style.
