Nice!!! She is my twin sister and mine even has 50K. You might consider adding a wind restrictor in her. They reduce some of the noise and blocks about 50% of the wind that blows in from the back. I have had one for about 4 years and wouldn't be with out one. Better music, better conversation, but they run around $400.00. I don't do pics but you can go to Search on the forum, enter Wind Restrictor then go to page 3 and you will find it there. Congrats on a nice vette. It is a mount in leave in. I am back, I just remembered that you can also google this thing as a C5 corvette wind restrictor and get all kinds of pics. Mine is the one with the vette logo but not the lighted on.GL

Congratulations on your buy! Good looking C5 with the "just right" top to enjoy the coming spring and summer months! I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine, they are terrific cars. Good luck with your new baby and welcome. Best wishes!

Got one ,TOO! 22 K miles, 392 horsepower. Yours looks great. Is it Arctic White or Speedway White? Love the wheels on yours. Mine is above with the red caliper covers. This 02 is the best of all the 8 Vettes I have owned. I know, folks hate the covers, but I planned on removing them and painting the Calipers Torch Red.
