How it looks when it is off? Not very visible right?


LED light bars china made, have this for 2 years so far no problems.
Light bars behind the grill are stealth, barely noticeable until you turn it on and also theft proof.
The 2016 LX has LED headlights and I don't think extra light bar is needed.

Go for it!

I had the same idea, but I'll tell you two things that a Vette owner told me, and it made a lot of sense.

First, any certified car nut needs to own a Vette at least once it his/her life.

Second, don't wait! Enjoy now!

I'm 42, and always told myself I'd wait until 50 just like you. Luckily my wife wanted the Vette, so we shopped for it together. Even though it started off as hers, since we got the LX, the Vette has pretty much turned into mine and the LX into hers.

I'm so glad I have it now, it's one of the most enjoyable cars I've driven, and I used to have an 11 second Grand National.

No time like the present!

For me to the Corvette, I have to get rid of our Airstream interstate rv. 4 vehicles will be too many 🤗

When the Corvette is important enough, you'll make the necessary decision.

PS, great LX, by the way!

I sat in a 2016 last weekend at the auto show, what a great vehicle!

hard to beat the 'bang for the buck'. I don't think I would choose a vette for a daily driver (just IMHO) but dollar for dollar hard to be the thrill for the money.

It was 79 degress in south Georgia last Monday and my wife suggested we drive the vette with the top down for a trip out of town. When she enjoys the vette it makes it really fun to go together.

Light bars will provide more range and more wider area, could be useful when go out to middle of nowhere at night

But I don't want to make holes to the interior, I think there is wireless switch options right

2012 Mercedes GL550 - Quirky no bluetooth audio for the money spent!!
2010 Honda CR-V EX-L - Great beater!! 20 year old daughter uses this!
2016 Ford Explorer Limited - Cheap plastic interior! Fleet car!
2015 Chevy Traverse LT - Total POS! Way to cheap! Telematics screen goes blank and it shuts down! Fleet car!! I know why GM sells such crappy cars to fleet users!
2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited! POS Better then the Chevy! Fleet car!! Numerous issues with transmission shifting, selection lever, TPMS reports bad info. Cheap plastic, carpeting short in many areas! fleet vehicle as well!

My fleet admin is great! They vehicles they supply are crappy! Good news is I'm never have any down time! When they are in the shop they meet me with a loaner and handle all the paperwork and $$. The Fords seem to take the beating better than the other brands. The Jeep was nice, but very problematic! Excellent telematics but run off Sprint!

Nice to see a fellow cyclist! What are you riding a C59 or C60?

I haven't taken the Colnago plunge but was thinking about getting a modern steel Master as a fun kick around bike.

Currently my heard has been thinned but have a nice Wilier and No.22 - cool little company out of Saratoga NY which formed out of the ashes of Serotta. Sweet, modern ti bikes.
