Glad you enjoyed all the parts Rick! We’re glad to be apart of your build, can’t wait to see them installed 💙

[@msowerby]

Glad you were able to establish a great relationship…it’s a WIN, WIN, WIN for all involved!

[@zachbatdorff2685]

I’ll take some free stuff :) lol

[@RickCorvetteConti]

Loved them and excited to share with everyone as we add them even closer details on how cool this stuff is, appreciate the support and opportunity!

[@RickCorvetteConti]

@@msowerby Thanks for the path my friend...good people need to stick together for sure

[@braddoyle5788]

Your going to love the front lights. I have had several comments about them.

[@hpdefun6647]

ACS FTW

[@leelorentzen1082]

I've got the splash guards from them as well. Easy installation in my garage .. without any lift.

[@braddoyle5788]

Xmas edition of Tech Tuesday, love it. And thanks for spending my money 😆

[@ParagonPerformance]

Christmas in Spring 🌼

[@babeadams9351]

One thing about ACS composite and Paragon, they're both providing a plethora of quality products for the C8 Corvette. Kudos to both.

[@ParagonPerformance]

Thank you 🙏

Mr. Conti glad to see your getting alot of stuff for your new C8 HTC Corvette!!! You and Chuck are going to be busy!! Rick,,Stop Dreaming and Start Driving!!!👍🏽👊🏽

Great accessories from Paragon! And yes, Tuesday those beautiful rides! 👍🏼1️⃣🎥🎬

[@mikeanton7132]

I bought the Paragon front grill guards and the exhaust black out covers for my 2023 C8. Great products.

[@margaretmesacortez2421]

Hi Chuck!!

[@jamesm.3338]

Hey Chuck. Glad you're back to work!

[@swfloridacarguy1987]

Yes Rick, you are so right get up every morning and be happy, go to bed happy but say good night to what you have in the garage…each and every day…. I do! And thank God….

[@bprz067]

That's my Z06 with Speed Phenom's car at COTA.

[@RickCorvetteConti]

Hey sweet thanks for watching man nice car

[@BertShackleford]

Happy to subscribe Rick. If I may, you remind me of my late Uncle. He had the same jovial personality as you exhibit on a daily basis. His positivity was absolutely infectious and I thought I would never see the likes of it again until I found your channel. In fact, I remember telling my wife that, _"This Rick Conti gentleman has the same cheerful nature as my late, great Uncle Bob. You would have liked him babe and I know he would have loved you!"_ For this reason alone, I have decided to subscribe. Of course, it doesn't hurt that we are currently in the process of ordering/acquiring our custom C8 Z51. Which I might add, will be the first and only Corvette in our family. FWIW, back in high school I had a 1968 Mustang J-Code Restomod as a daily driver. She ran 11.71@121mph on slicks down at Firebird Raceway in Chandler, AZ with an average fuel efficiency of ~9mpg. The fun part is the fact that she cost me four and half girlfriends, two jobs and a copious amount of money (mostly for gas but also for all the high-performance parts). Nevertheless, I am thoroughly excited to have a V8 in my life once again and I look forward to each and every video you post to the channel. Keep up the great work brother. Stay classy my friend.

[@jasonray9568]

I’m looking at you and I see a young boy Christmas morning!!!!! I love your enthusiasm (and a tad envious as well). Giving me a lot of ideas…enjoy! PS…make sure you buy Chuck a beer, he’s gonna need it!!!!!

[@heatherdore2282]

I always love everything paragon comes out with to go on my HTC

[@timothywood1339]

Thanks for the third time my car made it the Beautiful Rides Segment.

[@dford344]

Looking forward to see all the parts mounted. Had a chance to meet Brad and check out his car. 👍🏻

[@davedeluca8690]

Thank you Rick for the Unboxing of Paragon, I went to there site and started shopping and will use the Conti 5% off coupon code. BTW I sent an email to your dealership and hope you receive it soon. Thanks again. Stop Dreaming and Start Driving everyone !!!

[@ParagonPerformance]

Happy Shopping! 😁

[@RickCorvetteConti]

Dave dealership email goes to a call center, hard enough as it is to keep up, please email me direct at [e-mail] thank-you

[@RickCorvetteConti]

scratch that, you did email me...will reply..just buried, thanks!

[@edstingray3828]

I bought Paragon front grills for my 2023. 4 hours later, they are done. Yes, on a lift. We watch two different videos from two sources. I had 7k before I got them. Planning a 4k trip. I'm glad that don't. PPF Excel already in place.

[@johnperkins6432]

Rick, you will be glad you put the catch can on your car. Every time I do the oil change I empty the can and think " thank god that will not be on my intake valves!"😅

[@RickCorvetteConti]

Thanks for feedback John 👊👊👊

[@joelpierce3940]

Need more Chucks at dealerships! Too many young guys.

[@margaretmesacortez2421]

LOVE THIS VIDEO RICK!!

[@koreypayne9610]

Awesome video Rick & glad to be apart of the build :)

[@RickCorvetteConti]

this one is going to be FUN, appreciate the help from Paragon!

[@bobpost3656]

Nice stuff Rick. Have Chuck do an install video on the intake screens. I finally installed the radiator screens.Ouch !Can't wait to see your finished product !

[@michaelmanley8046]

Thank you for the great show, Rick! It was nice to see Chucky, and yes I would be up all night and every day waiting, watching you! Thank you, Rick, for another great show! 😁😁 Fun Fest at mid America corvettes dates are set! Hop to see you guys! 😀

You crazy. 😎❤️💥

[@thomascoville3155]

Great ACS and Paragon parts for your car by the time you deck out the car when you reach November you'll be one of the Corvette FLOATS in the Thanksgiving day parade Rick. They really make great parts both companies I have the ACS front splitter and side rocker panels and duckbill spoiler on my 21 Carbon Flash they really great parts. have a great day Rick. Tom from SC.

[@johnl.navarrette2053]

Rick, can not wait to see all the parts on your new C8 and it will give me ideas for my C8! Thanks!!!!

[@jackbalmer698]

I added the extended rock guards from American Hydro carbon for both my C7 & C8. American Hydro Carbon also makes a lot of those same parts..

[@larrynewberry3500]

OMG Chuck, I feel sorry for you. Looks like a lot of work for you. Hope Rick has deeeep pockets for you. Special thanks to Paragon and all their great products they produce for our cars. ZO6, please!!!. Fun vlog. Have fun, Rick. ENJOY brother.

[@legod1717]

Awesome video Rick! I agree with you "Every day is a gift" and "Tomorrow is not a given" I've already done the ACS front Splitter and will add more I'm sure. I look forward to seeing you mod your car! Have Fun!!😎👍

[@mattwieschorster839]

thanks for the video Rick I hope Chuck and his wife are doing well take care

[@robertbass988]

Nice

[@tylerbuchanan1463]

Awesome video Rick. I'm so excited for you and Rapid Blue 2.0. Some of these items I might look to put on my C8.

[@markkelly289]

You might want to get 2 tow hooks as well. Especially is you are serious about doing a real jump.

[@stephenr115]

This is a GREAT video love turn signals. I need your help!

[@rayvillegas2727]

Hey Rick, great video. I have a question about extra bigger mud guards. I was going to get either the regular size or the extra large ones you have on. The camera doesn't give you a good shot as to see if these are to big. In your opinion, they really don't stick out to much. I appreciate your input before I decide which ones to get. Thank you

[@stephenr115]

Carbon fiber speaker covers!!!! Thanks Rick! We need to know these things

[@kennstinchfield4218]

Now, I’ve got to check our 2017 GS and see if I have those C7 rock protection devices on the wheel wells. I had them on my 2 C7 Z06’s.

[@EddieV925]

I’ll be spending money soon

[@stephenr115]

What side mirror for white Pearl?

[@rondail5675]

I want to hear more from Chuck, Q&A. Sorry Rick, seeing you enjoy Christmas early isn't as enjoyable as a real Tech-Tuesday.

[@RickCorvetteConti]

I understand but hard to do with both our schedules as I said we will do Tech Tuesday when we can , thank you

[@rondail5675]

@@RickCorvetteConti Rick, at least you are trying and working at it!!! If you had time, you could have another KZbin channel just for VetteTech. Thanks!!

[@Blu3499]

So my dealer told me before the shutdown that my C8 should be at the dealership 1st or 2nd week of April It's almost here So I just bought the rock guards you just showed along with sides skirts and I don't even have the car yet I'm excited

[@margaretmesacortez2421]

Such fun Rick! Isn't it gorgeous even dirty??!!❤🎉😊

[@howardsilkowski3978]

Rick if your looking for Jake all weather floor mats I have some that I want to sell from my 2021 corvette

[@Vetteman372]

You are the number one salesman of Corvettes and the number one salesman of Corvette parts. After hearing your thing about paragon, I'm looking for some stuff. There's a company I don't know what you want it is, but they sell the Z 06. The 2023 Z 06 spoiler. Is it one of the companies you represent??

[@Jeff_NC]

What window tint you going with this time Rick?

[@RickCorvetteConti]

50% windshield 25% sides and 5% rear convertible window - will do a vlog on this when I get her back

[@marct9360]

The LED turn signals are a good idea but they're just too bulky for my tastes.

[@2020matrix8]

Rick! Hey man the next mod you should consider is the Carbon Fiber XBrace from AGM Motorsports, it’s absolutely beautiful. Checkout Steve’s at Protective Dad Pranks or better yet Vette Syndicate. He also just got a gorgeous old air intake.

[@donkaywatts9694]

When you got your Corvette at the Museum it already had some extras installed. Did the Museum do that?

[@RickCorvetteConti]

Museum did install the ACS stuff I sent in advance

[@louislinfante7378]

Rick, so happy for you with your packages from Paragon, your c8 will look great. I just can’t help but think what it would have cost you for all the accessories. Good luck.

[@kurtoosterlinck2932]

Rick, fantastic accessories from Paragon, if you need help putting the gear on, I will charge less than Chuck.

[@kennethmurphy4802]

Just to let you know I tried using CONTI at checkout but it didn't work. Maybe because I am from Canada?

[@brianb7844]

Rick, will putting in an aftermarket air filter cause any issues with warranty? It seems like manufacturers lately look for any reason to deny a claim.

[@RickCorvetteConti]

does not sir

[@brianb7844]

@@RickCorvetteConti Thank you, have a lot of carbon fiber interior mods myself. Just waiting for warmer weather. Congrats and look forward to seeing your mods come to life.

[@joem7755]

@@RickCorvetteConti Good to know. Many are unsure where the nit picking starts when it comes to warranty. Do you know if they have issues with other things like hi-flow cats and headers? Other then that Im not sure what else can be done to get a little extra power. Wish GM offered a little tune. I have no doubt they can squeeze a little more without issues.

[@timobermeyer4362]

Great mods on the car already. The mods from Paragon will just add to the already good looking vehicle. You looked like a kid on his birthday opening his presents. The excitement was all over your face. Looks like you and Chuck will be busy, have fun.

[@stephenr115]

Looking forward to your advice on accessories for you know what. You car looks great! Yes, I’m encouraged by these products

[@stephenr115]

What happened finally with Michael’s deal? Is this happening to others?

[@msowerby]

Seems like it was a glitch…I have a VIN 👍

[@robertjakicic5878]

Tinted mirrors and running lights are going to look fantastic Paragon sent you a very nice early Christmas present Rick looking forward to the install video.

The C8 Light Bars are the shops favorite product 😁

[@Jeff_NC]

Paragon tests all the airfilters and showed they made little difference. Watch their video

[@marct9360]

I've seen dyno runs on aftermarket air filters such as K&N and aftermarket exhaust systems. Any power improvement they add is usually at very high RPMs.

[@cn3dagain819]

Do these very expensive and gaudy stick on parts add any value to the trade in or resale value of an already perfect car?........Is that a no? Oh, thank you.
