My first vette. :D

At age 20 I'm happy to say I've finally purchased my first vette! A 2007 C6 3LT w/ Z51 & Nav. Black/Black M6. Only 2300 miles. I'm so stoked. I'm thinking about powder coating the wheels black, should I trade for a set of plain painted wheels to powder coat or would you all just go ahead and powder coat the chrome wheels?

Here are a few shots I took on my phone outside of the dealership. It gets shipped to me next week.

And hey help me pay for this thing! lol I've got my 2000 Trans Am for sale, check it out here:
