Finally pulled the trigger...
After lurking for months I finally pulled the trigger last Friday. Garage is now holding a 2002 TR M6 coupe with all the bells and whistles!

One previous owner, the car came with all maintenance records and is 100% stock. It's not w/o issues (visor mirrors are shot, climate control needs resistors need re-soldered), but everything else is as it should be.
Very excited and have put well over 400 miles on it since Friday!
First things to pick up will be a battery tender for to keep things fresh through the Utah winter, and the column lock by-pass. Any other recommendations?

Congratulations on a fine looking Corvette. Now go out and get a nice car cover for the coming winter. Your baby has to keep cosy and warm. Wishing you many happy miles/smiles. Oh yes the MGW mentioned is a great upgrade. Greetings from Canada, Rob

Good lookin' ride there pardner. Love the red and considered a red one when I got mine. Does it have the black or oak interior? Also, now the real fun begins. Planning, fun mods, etc... Each has his own likes and dislikes. There are expensive mods and inexpensive but you've got a great canvas to start working with. Well done!!

Thanks for all the positive comments - I'm loving it so far. Winter in UT can be mild to crazy - driving in Oct/March is iffy and Nov-Feb will likely be out, if for nothing else but not wanting to drive with these tires in freezing temps.
First mod will be to put back some legal tint on the windows. Inspection station made me pull the 12% tint off the sides today
I love the Corsa Pace car exhaust so that is right up there on the list. Long tubes are out due to smog requirements in my county. It does have black interior that is in great shape , though I may look for some mods there to highlight various features.
I'll definitely look into the MGW shifter - that's a mod I had not considered, but seeing it so highly recommended I'll check it out!!!
