She came home yesterday

I think the next person that buys that wet cement colour should name their car Ethel...

It's actually wet Concrete. Cement is actually the binding agent that holds the it together... just sayin

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

That just ruined 18 of my posts about wet cement....

35MPa, High-Early Strength, Fiber Reinforced, 20mm Stone, 6% air, 4" slump.
Concrete can sound so sexy, but it's a problem fitting a good mix design on a plate.

Just a note that red was NOT Lucille Ball's natural colour. She was a brunette who dyed her hair to stand out more when casting for actress roles.

I was going to mention the Henna rinse involvement, for the nit pickers, but thought why spoil the story behind the legendary colour.

New York City ... chimend ... think there are more than a few with shoes made of such material at the bottom of the Hudson

Thanks for all the complements guys. My back is broken from installing parts all day but I must say Lucille has a very sweet rear.

 

[Mr.Corvette]

The rear diffuser looks nice with the matching accent stripes, CF waterfall, wheels spacers, orange stripe on the steering wheel with CF accent pieces below the dash, infotainment screen and above the glovebox. Also CF transmission shifter piece which I also got to match the FA5 CF interior package. Did the dealer put on the side skirts and Stingray R decal? Just wondering what I missed?

I think "wet cement" is one of the best C8 colours. To each their own.

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

You can claim "Ethel" as your new screen name before the rush lol....

Yes Scott. The dealer only did the acs sides and stingray r decal. Not noticeable but I also put in grill guards and tail light overlays today

Looks fantastic

 

[DDHRocks]

That's a sweet looking ride.

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

I think they make orange overlays for the "Z" and Starter button. I know guys that have done it with other colours...

I haven't seen orange overlay for starter button so I got red. Also haven't seen orange z button, plus no one sells the new 2024 z button yet in any color. If you've seen a place let me know

Finally took delivery. Wife named her Lucille. Installed acs front lip and grill guards yesterday. Today is rear diffuser, wheel spacers and some carbon bits. Tomorrow it goes in for PPF and tint. She's looking good and loving her new family.

congratulations. Beauty car

 

[redpearl99]

Lucille got PPF and 20% tint

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

Ok, don't turn this "Lucille" thing into a drinking game. Keep it in house...

 

[redpearl99]

Another small mod today. Got some metal fluid caps and painted them to match the body.
