Default First time Corvette owner





This site was very valuable to me while I was searching for my C4. Even got my front plate filler from another member. So here is the mandatory first pics post.
1992
73k miles
Corsa exhaust from PO
Brand new American Racing wheels and the tint are all I added. And I changed the battery which was an unexpected chore but I'm glad I got my hands a little "dirty" right out the gate.
Can't wait to take the top off this weekend!

Thanks everyone! To answer a couple questions, they are torq thrust II wheels. The color is bright aqua metallic and I'm in South Jersey along the Delaware and also have a little place in Wildwood.

IMO that's one of the finer colors on a C4, but I may be a tad biased.
