Default Introducing my new baby...

Thought I would share a few pics I took today of my 02. I bought her a few weeks ago and have been having some stereo stuff done so I didn't wash her until today.




My daytime and nighttime rides




Custom sub box built into the trunk takes no space and it hits so hard!

Thanks! Just wish I could push a button and have everything but the wallpaper go away. I was able to do that on my last deck, but can't seem to figure it out on this one.

Hey Buddy, Welcome to the forum and Corvette ownership.
That is a great looking Mag Red Vette you have there, You came to the right place for sure, There is a wealth of knowledge here that's for sure. If you have any questions just ask and there are some great members here that will help and guide you.
Now, I think you should submit 2 pictures of your whip for the Corvette Forum slideshow, You can find info on it here.

cool car and welcome.

if you're into the stereo stuff you should consider doing a double din setup.

the unit you have makes your heating/cooling useless when it's popped up.

Believe me, i would love to but the stereo shop said it would have been extremely expensive to to the job.and that they couldn't even get the dash kit for it. I would have had to find one and pay them a fortune to install it

Congrats!! Did you know, there is a huge Corvette group out of Phoenix called Arizona Corvette Enthusiasts. A great crowd. Too bad you didn't have your Vette last year. We had about 70 Vettes snake up Mount Lemmon. That wasn't you handing out tickets at the top, was it? Hahahaha. If you see me around your beat, say hello. (No flashing lights please.)

Welcome to the forum!!
