Pretty in pink: Maria's award‑winning Corvette Stingray

Bagged, wrapped pink and black and riding on white wheels, Maria's C8 Corvette Stingray Z51 is one of our favorite builds. Here is the car, its Elite Tuner award, and the cover it lives under in her garage.

Maria's Corvette C8 Stingray Z51 is one of our favorite builds: custom bagged, riding on white wheels and wrapped in a pink and black combo. It has an Elite Tuner award to its name, and between outings it lives under a cover in her garage.

An Elite Tuner award in 2025

Elite Tuner stages car shows in cities around the country, from Orlando to Albuquerque. In 2025, Maria's Corvette took home Best Elite of Show at Elite Tuner, and the plaque is in the photo below.

Bagged, wrapped, and on white wheels

The car is custom bagged, meaning it runs on air suspension, and it rides on a set of white wheels under a pink and black wrap.

Shows and meetups are only part of it: Maria also loves tuning the car. It has worn more than one look, too. In the garage shots in this story it is gloss pink on black wheels.

Out at shows and meetups

A build like this takes looking after. Maria keeps the Corvette covered in her garage between drives. She is also a CarCovers.com affiliate, and this is how she describes the cover:

If you are like me & like to keep your rides clean while it sits in your garage, this is for you. I was introduced to @carcoversdotcom & fell in love with how smooth this cover is. I feel safe that it won't scratch my paint/wrap & even more, no dirt while it's covered.

Legends

The Corvette Z06, from racing option to mid‑engine supercar

In 1963 it was a box to check on the order form for buyers who wanted a street car with a pit crew's instincts. Six decades and four more generations later, it is a mid-engine supercar built around the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 ever sold.

Luis and the 1965 Mustang he waited for

He had a 1965 Mustang at fifteen and had to let it go. Now he has another one, and this time he is building it the right way, at his own pace.
