Default First Corvette, First Drive, One Word: WOW!

I picked up my Corvette this morning around 9 am. Mike got me out in an hour as I was on the road back to Hagerstown at 10. Car is everything I had hoped for and more. Will install a set of Continental DWS 06 tires tomorrow so I can drive safely year round. Selling my OEM tires to a C6 owner. Enjoy the photos, not professional quality but hope they show the body color vents and new wheels.

I'll post a few more photos in a second post.

I think that the vents look OK, seems to work well on the Laguna Blue.
Congratulations on your new car, and I agree with the Wow for the C7.

First pics I've seen of the matching body-colored vents in blue - looking great!

Congratulations on your car!


LOVE the painted vents. I'm seriously considering ordering that as well, and the pictures are a big help. They look great with the Laguna Blue.

Randall:

You did good, very good. I hadn't seen the painted vents, or rear vents painted. Looks nice on the Laguna Blue and like the Gray Interior.
