Looks great! I love the color and wheel combo. Leave the exterior alone, it's perfect! How do you like the LS2? A lot of cool things you can do to pick up some serious HP. Enjoy.

Congrats on the very nice C6. One thing you will soon learn is you need to carry the key fob in your right pocket - not the left pocket. This was a hard habit for me to break after years of carrying keys in my left pocket.

If you carry them in the left pocket, the horn will honk three times as you exit the car

Pennsylvania sure produces a lot of Corvettes. That's where I found mine, too. Nice ride! I was always bewildered when pondering why people trade in a newer car for an older one, or spending so much money on a used vehicle when they could buy a brand new 'different' model. That was until I did the exact same thing myself....with a Vette. Now I know why.

You can keep it in either pocket....that horn honk reminder can be turned off on the DIC. It was very irritating before I figured that out.
