Haha yes!!!! Already took the "LS3" badges off the hood, but the caliper covers will have to wait till I get home from a business trip.

Very nice! Is that Criswell Chevrolet? I bought my 2012 GS there last year and have enjoyed it.

Loving every second of driving this car!

Congrats ! I waited a long time too to get my first Corvette. After three plus years, I can not get rid of the grin.

Congratulations on your “like new” Grand Sport. 5,300 miles is super low. I thought I did well finding a ‘12 with just over 18K miles. I just rolled 22,400 miles and have owned her 13 months. You are going to love the driving experience. Have fun! You made a great choice!
