Now an owner!
I picked up a 2004 Lemans Blue Coupe last night. I will get pictures posted soon.
I am taking votes for the first mods. Nothing major as I want to keep the warranty valid.

Congrats on the new Corvette!!! I bet you didn't sleep so well the night before right 
Great feeling, the best Is when all the papers are signed and your driving home! 
* I ended up going home about five hours later lol

First mods:
1.) Get rid of the runflats.
2.) CAI (Cold Air Intake) Cheapest HP for the $ that I know of.
3.) Good computer tune. Wow!
The Forum is a great resource.

Go for lowering, getting a fast intake, headers, exhaust, x pipes, catch can, powdercoated z06 wheels (18 front, 19 back), tinted windows, brake calipers, cam, forged pistons, twin turbo, BFG KDW tires. Just suggestions <.<

Welcome and congrats on the C5 I bought mine about a month ago.. My first mods will be Borla Stingers and a Blackwing which I bought yesterday. 
I'm going to keep it as original as possible.. I'll only buy bolt on parts for it - new wheels and tires will probably be my next mod

Congratulations and have fun. Mod feed the senses first...sound=new exhausts, sight=rims/tires/wax. If it's your first one read the owners manual and watch the tape. Good stuff
