1st Corvette
Yesterday I ordered my first corvette. I got it in lemans blue with the Z51 on it, black interior and painted wheels. I also got the NCM delivery and plan on having an awesome time doing that. Now I just hope that my order goes all the way through. I got the painted wheels because I wanted to do the chrome exchange. Anyone who has done it could you give me some good info. on what to do and where to go. I remeber the lowered blue corvette on here ealier this week and that car definitely helped me finalize my decision on color and wheels. I just dont remember who posted the picture and the search is not working. Now the exciting wait begins. 
Thanks to the forum for all the information that continue to get about this awesome car.

This is my first Vette too.
There is nothing like owning such a No Excuses predator of an automobile. It's like getting into you're own F-22 fighter plane every day.
Good luck with the wait. Mine was miserable.

You'll just love LMB!! I've owned 3 various reds over the years(all great colors), but the LMB has just received reactions that I would have never believed!
I couldn't be more pleased.
By the way, ordered 12/16, picked up at dealer 2/16.
Also, at BG when she was built(Thanks Kevin).
