The only change would be ordering the dealer installed spoiler- the non-Z51 model.
I know I can add it but more labor now and more risk as I have no one to hold accountable but me if I mess up the holes.

Nothing I would change other than caliper color, but I can just send them in for powder coating.
I bought in stock at a dealer, and was looking for a 2LT, but ended up with a 3LT. Now that I have the 3LT, I really like it and am glad that I got it.

I waited a very long time for my order to be accepted and then finally built on 07.01, my order was initially for a Z51 TR vert, black top and Kalahari interior with silver wheels. In April I saw a Forum members post about a triple black vert and quickly changed my mind and changed my order to black, my triple black vert arrived on 07.14 and I could not be happier with my decision!

For those of you who have owned your Stingrays for awhile now, a simple question:
Is there anything you would change? For example, Non-Z51 to Z51, Coupe to convertible, vert to coupe, transmission choice, exterior color, interior color, Options? Those you would add, or those you have decided you probably didn't need or want?
I'll start. I originally ordered a 2LT coupe in silver with red seats, auto, NAV, NPP, glass roof, and wing spoiler. The car never got built as the dealer did not have the allocations he promised. I ended up buying a AW vert off the floor at another dealer (2LT, Auto, NAV, NPP, black seats with Sueded inserts). For me, it turned out to be a blessing. I do believe I am significantly happier with this car then the one I originally ordered. In my case, I would not change a thing on the C7 I now have in my garage (okay, maybe red vice black seats).
Anything you would change on yours????

When I'm driving I can't feel a single drop of heat. Its like a giant sunglasses lens over your head. Heck most of the time I forget its transparent till I look up out of boredom at a long stoplight.
Now when its parked the interior gets toasty BUT 1.) Not THAT much toastier than any other car with a regular roof and 2.) I don't make a habit of leaving it parked outside 3.) they sell a suction cup sunshade 4.) Its probably one of the most ohhh'd and ahhhhh'd features of the car when somebodies checking it out.
Just my .02
