What about color matching the calipers to match the exterior paint? That would give it different look and still be gray. Also, I believe MGP might make caliper covers for the corvette. You could always get a set in blue to see if she likes the color before committing. Enjoy your Easter!

Chuck, i have been watching your blog here for a few months as I am a new owner of a 2017 GS Vette as well. After the video i bought the lug nuts and the visor covers because i hate those visors. After installing the visor covers the next day it was about 70 degrees here in UT, I looked up and the visor stickers were peeling. They would not stay, looked like crap so i took them off. What is the deal with that? Feel like i wasted $40 or how ever much they were. Also, where can we send pics of our cars for you to post at the end of the blogs?

I really like watching your videos and how informative they are. I liked this video too but it sort of hit me wrong to see you using the torque wrench wrong. If the torque is to be 100 lbs and that is where you have it set you should stop wrenching down on it as soon as it clicks but you kept turning it another 10 to 15 degrees. If the torque is to be 150 lbs and that is why you kept turning you should just set you torque wrench that way. None the less this is a great video.

Congrats to you on the ZR1 and your wife on the Grand Sport. I have a Collector Edition and initially thought that the calipers should be tension blue, but the more I thought about it I felt the blue needs to be used sparingly so decided against it. My calipers are black, I think you could only get different colored calipers with the ceramic brake option? I did recently do tension blue over the red “sport” on the side vents & door sills which I think should have been done out of the factory. If you look at the top of the C7 section on the Corvette Forum there is a Collector Edition Registry and someone on there made the tension blue Grand Sport overlays for the side vents & door sills.
