Default New addition to the family

I mean my 2017 1LT Coupe!!!!

I just picked it up from the dealer a few hours ago :

1. Watkins Glen / Nightfall Gray, Black interior
2. z51 spoiler black
3. Performance exhaust
4. Black aluminum wheels. Not my first choice but I couldn't find one with silver painted wheels at the same price point.

I'm scheduled for lo-jack activation and then I plan to get a dash cam. One of the things I didn't get and regret (because it wasn't in the 1 LT pack) is the front cam that helps you keep from damaging the lower part of the front end.

1. Is there an aftermarket solution ?
2. I'm thinking of doing the 3m Film. Does anyone have any experience with that ? should I do it on just the front clip and hood or all the way around ?
3. Anything else I should look at doing ?

No piccy, no happen.

When Walgreens says your pics are ready, post 'em up!

JK. Congrats!

and when Walgreens says your photos are ready, post 'em up!

I never pull into a parking spot if avoidable, only back in.

Almost the exact same car I got from the same dealer (although mine is a '16 Shark Gray). Saw the car listed in their online inventory in the morning, called them to hold it, drove over that afternoon and bought it. Easy peezy.

For a front camera add, look into Navtool. Congrats on the new Vette.

Let the modding begin...you will mod..they all do and theres no stopping. I picked up a base stingray myself and ended up going from buying carbon flash stuff to upgrading to carbon fiber stuff. When i firsr got the car, i told myself i only wanted a transparent top and that was it. Silly me 😂.

Anyways big congrats on your new car. This car does not get old!

Congratulations, and welcome to the forum!
The black wheels tie In nicely with the other black trim, I doubt the silver would look as good. JMHO
Are you in Florida? The neighborhood looks very familiar.
