New Corvette owner

Just purchased '94 torch red convertible, 43K miles, 6-spd, C5 wheels. Aftermarket exhaust with great note! Autocrossed last Sunday - what a blast!

I'm really enjoying the content in this forum.

Welcome to the forum.
Great looking ride.

Maybe you have a newer ride then you think?
The front vents on your vette are from a 95 or 96. Vettes from 91 to 94 had the long horizontal vents.

He's right....
Or, maybe the PO updated those panels after the wreck?

Must have been an update - Carfax was clean and I could see no visible signs of a repair. There are cosmetic upgrades under the hood (chrome, immitation AN style hose fittings, etc.) and of course the wheels and brakes, so I'm leaning towards believing in an update.
