Congrats!!!

Will you drive this daily like the old one?
I see from pics you have clear roads....
Would the clearance be enough for snowy roads?

Drop looks perfect. Nice even gap all around the tire.

Drop looks great!

Please take it easy on the saturation dial in your photo editing software - it all blends into one and you can't see body lines anymore.

This one is definitely not a daily driver, it won't even see the rain very often. But I do intend to drive it a lot whenever the weather is nice (like last weekend we got a break in the winter weather and I put 200 miles on it in three days)

I didn't touch these photos in Photoshop at all, they are raw straight out of my iPhone. They looked good on my end until I uploaded them to this site and something odd happened after that, as I do see what you're saying here.

Click on this link to see another shot of the car, and it was taken at the same time with my iPhone as well, but when I uploaded it to that site it looks fine:

Maybe the red really is that rich.

Don't mind my nitpicking comments - I am just jealous.

How did lowering the car affect the ride?

Upload pics to a photo sharing site like tinypic, when uploading on here it compresses the photos to save on bandwidth.

The ride is only just a tiny bit stiffer, but I like it since I have the base suspension and I found it just a tiny bit soft before but now it's perfect!

Looks very good.

Just wondering why you didn't get a Grand Sport ?

The number one reason was money, I ordered the least expensive car I could get (1LT Stingray) and just added the stuff I absolutely had to have. But even if cost was not a factor, I really do prefer the look of the base model, I don't like the spoiler choices on the GS or the black pieces in the wheel wells.
