Default Another new 2002 Owner

Hi Guys! New to the forum, and bought my first Corvette.

2002 Coupe, automatic
39k miles
Flomaster exhaust
2 tops (white & clear)

* Ordered the cup holder already and looking for an iphone/iphone connector for the audio system, any suggestions?

I removed mine is less than an hour. 50 pound test fishing line, and 3M adhesive remover. Then a little wax.

Great excuse to drink beer in the garage.

Body Side Molding, the 50 lb test line is fishing line to remove the molding without leaving alot of adhesive on the car.
