Default I did it, I put down a deposit

I finally put a deposit on a 2016 Stingray, LT2, Arctic White, Adrenaline Red Seas, clear roof, black wheels, red calibers, carbon flash package., carbon flash spoiler/side mirrors. Currently its at 3800 status, so no sure how much longer I will have to wait. Thanks a lot to all on this forum, I have learned so much!!

Thanks a lot for all the kind words. I noticed some stingrays have a large rear spoiler than others. Is that new for the 16s or is that an upgrade spoiler. Also does anyone make a part to cover the front stainless bar? I also heard someplace that the 16s come standard with a car cover, if that trur? I have so many questions, and I still cant believe i finally did it!!

3800 is build complete. when did you order?
Larger spoiler is the Z06 model. Car cover is for shipping. Not really a usable piece. Most that change the chrome bar use some tape whether electrical/ carbon fiber or paint plasti dip. You will find most of your questions answered here on the forum.

Thanks, I did not have to order because I found one that had everything I wanted. I have been told its built, but has not gone through quality control yet. I am told it could be two weeks or 4 weeks, just never know. The only thing that makes me nervous is that its a manual. I have not driving a stick in about 30 years, LOL, but i wanted something different.

I might pull the trigger in the next 3 days. Went to the dealer today to do a pretend build to see the cost. He has ONE allocation left that no one has snagged yet. So far it's Z51 allocation dealer stock order. All I have to do is change it all to MY stats and I'll have my order in. He showed me...the existing order is 2000. Gotta be final by tuesday.

My....my....finger is twitching....

exhale slow...steady the pulse...squeeze......thats all i gotta do.

UGH...the timing.

Hello

I made a big mistake over the weekend. I was trying to be a good husband and wanted the my wife to see a stingray like the one I put a deposit on. The only one at a local dealer was a 3LT and not 2LT. Once inside the 3LT, she loved it. The red on the dash and red sticking was nice. She went from not really caring about what I bought, to wanting the 3LT. Just wanted to share a funny weekend story. I called my dealer and changed to the 3LT and lucky for me they have one already built. I tried calling CS to check on the status on the new stingray, but was told the system is down all week. Does this sound right?

1st mod, ditch the stock grill and install Z06 grill, major looks improvement.

Nice! I tried to get the wife to greenlight me to go to 3LT, showed her the differences and her response? "You don't need all that..." Oh well...anxiously awaiting my 2LT Torch Red/Adrenaline Red...

Congrats and Good Luck with the new ride!

If the car included the EYT Carbon Flash badge option (as most, if not all dealer stock orders around here with the black wheels, carbon flash mirrors and spoiler do), there is no need, it replaces the Chrome front bar with a blacked out bar.

Congrats! My wife and I put a deposit down a few weeks ago on a 16 Laguna Blue/Black interior 1LT A8. Ours hit 3300 last week. It was one the dealer had on order already. I tried to get her to go for at least the 2LT and she didnt care about the extras. She'd rather put the extra money to mods
