New 1st time Corvette owner in Austin, TX - C7
Hi all,
Always been a fan of the Corvette but the C7 definitely provided that last push needed to make that jump and purchase one. I have my 2015 Torch Red convertible on its way to Austin. I am hoping it will arrive by this weekend in time for the F1 but most likely won't be here till next week. Just wanted to introduce myself. Will post pics as soon as I pick my car up (doing courtesy deliver at Henna Chevy in Austin - Ordered from Les Stanford).

Did you have to get approval from Henna to have it delivered there? If so, what did you have to do?
Thanks for your time.

Thanks all. I can't wait till it's here.
Some responses to the questions:
-I am in the Pflugerville area.
-Henna is charging me $350 for the courtesy delivery in addition to the title and registration costs for Texas
-Reason I bought from LS and not Henna is that Henna does not have allocation immediately and they will not honor GM Employee/Supplier pricing. It was much cheaper for me to buy out of state and get it courtesy delivered. All you have to do is provide the dealer you are purchasing from the BAC code for Henna. Call Henna and ask for Rob in the fleet department. He can answer any additional questions you have

Same with me. When the Z06 allocations became available, I couldn't wait any longer. My Z06 is scheduled to be built November 12th. It is setup for the Museum Delivery and I'm also planning to do the Buyer's Tour. No word yet as to when it will actually be released by GM, but I'm waiting on pins and needles. See you around Austin.

Haven't decided yet about tinting. I want to see how hard it is to see out of the back window first.

http://www.tracwrap.com/ This is Xpel, a supporting vendor.
Tracwrap by XPEL has an all new formula for making temporary paint protection film. Using an air channel adhesive the user can install this product dry, in the wind, and on the spot.
Why we did TRACWRAP
We love professionally installed clear bras and have installed them for years, but we saw a huge need for a TEMPORARY product. After attending many track events, Autocross events, car shows, etc and seeing the classic blue painters tape everywhere or worse yet NO protection and rock chipped vehicles we realized that the auto industry needed a sister product to the long term clear-bra.
Our customers wanted something more temporary than professional clear bra products. They wanted to go to the racetrack for the weekend, or put film on their car while it was being towed. They wanted to protect their RV for short term trips since they only hit the road a few weeks out of the year.
The industry needed a temporary product that provided the thicker protection than painters tape and the paper thin protection films but still provided an easy application that wasn’t as blaringly noticeable as the painters tape.
So, in 2014, we decided to put the power of paint protection in your hands. We made TRACWRAP with a special adhesive so you could pull it off in a matter of seconds without leaving bits of plastic or glue behind. We also made it tough, so it could withstand minor rock chips. We’re happy to give you a temporary product, similar to a clear bra. It prevents rock chips, installs quick and easy, and removes instantly.
