Ordered an '08 last week:

AO, cashmere-2 tone, 3LT,A6,Nav,Trans Top, NPP, Z51,. Now the long wait.
Sold '05 Coupe and '06 Vert on Ebay the last couple of weeks.

My questions: Has anyone experienced the mild to wild switch for the NPP? Ease of install for non wrench turners?

Also do we know of after market cold air induction for the LS3 or is it to early?

Awesome, I too have a 08 on order. Halltech has a 08 CAI, I believe others will follow quickly. Might be some out their I don't know about.

Looks like less than a 5 minute job. Pull a fuse, insert fuse tap, connect ground.

Install pics on Ed's site. I'll have mine in before I leave MacMulkins on Friday with the new car...

Congrats! Boy, the 08 section is filing up real fast! My TPW in 7/30 and I can't wait! Even ordered the mild to wild switch-looks very easy to install!

I just received my mild to wild switch and will be installing it in the next couple of days on my 08 with NPP. I will report back.

Great color choices!
I've also ordered an Atomic Orange 08, 3LT, Z51, 6-speed manual, with 2-tone ebony/titanium.
My build week is 7/23.
This is my first Vette......I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Regarding the cold air intake......I've been emailing back & forth with Anthony at LG Motorsports. Anthony assured me that the K&N Aircharger for a 2007 Z06 bolts right on.
From what I can tell (from the various photos of the 08), it looks like he's right.
