Default just bought my first vette

hey all,
just purchased my very first vette. a friend had one about 10 years ago, let me drive it, and have wanted one since. so here i sit with a 2003 50th anniversary package with 33k miles on it. the car is great, not sure all the options yet, but looks to be all stock. love it so far, only had it for a day.

Congrats!

Look in the inside of the glove box door. There should be a label with the RPO codes. Those codes will give you all the options your car came with. You can find out what they all mean by checking here, or just google C5 RPO codes.
