First Corvette!
I just bought my first Corvette. 2002 six speed roadster with 75k miles.
Definitely really excited about it!
What were the first changes you guys made after getting a new ride?

Welcome to the forum and enjoy your new vert. The first thing I did was to address the headlights. I installed the Phillips 9012 HIR bulbs. They made a big difference in the low beams and was well worth the cost. Here is a link to the article I found this mod:

Wishing you many miles of smiles with your new Corvette.

Nice... if it hasn't been addressed yet... the Column Lock Issue... Order and Install the LMC5 module from Compliance Parts a forum vendor.
The C6 shifter and Shocks are also very nice upgrades...

How can I verify if the lockout for the column has been changed or fixed?
