Thank you everyone for your kind responses, even the 'Buttercup' thing. (lol) Yeah, in Texas dullies still rule. Anyway, many moons ago, I had a White Coupe and a Blue SRT roadster. I saw a Vette which I could not live without, so I traded them both in. Even though the Vette is/was nice, I still regret trading those XF's in, ESPECIALLY buying them both new. You can imagine how much $$$ I lost on that deal.
Do not let ANYONE fool the SRT owners out there, unless you have a Z6 or a ZR1, the SRT's will blow the doors off of a Vette. That is the part that I miss, I had two Jewels that I let go. The white Coupe was one of the BEST LOOKING cars that I have ever had, and I will say I have been very lucky to have many different cars (yeah, I am addicted). I dressed the white coupe up with the black nose mask, placed on Chrome grill insets which overlayed the existing slats on the factory grill, and added Chromed (plated) factory wheels. That car never had a speck of dirt on it, and you could really see it coming down the road. After I make a very few mods on the 'Buttercup', I am hoping to get the same beauty out of it. I am not quite sure about adding chrome wheels just yet. Sometimes I feel that it might overpower the soft color of the yellow and make it cheap looking (?). It seems as if the gray colored factory wheels are soft color-toned in nature matching the soft yellow tone. Jury still out with the future wheel swap though.
The thing that I need to get over is the color thing in the future. I would like to get another SRT, but I just cannot get over my disliking for the color selections. Again, as time moves forward, and because of the rarity, I might not have a choice of what color to choose from. It will be 'it is what it is' type scenario. I had a pristine blue SRT convert. Foolish me to trade it on a Vette for which they make hundreds of thousands of.
Last, I want to thank those who suggested the radio replacement modification suggestions. Reading and re-reading prior comments, I also forgot to mention that a Sat. radio is a high priority along with a USB connection. The CD is down on my priority list. Also, speakers? Anyone have any new electronic (Unit, Speaker) suggestions? I have read previous threads, but I was not sure if there is anything newer that I cannot live without out these days. Again, if there are any more suggestions out there, I am all ears.
Have a great weekend everyone!
