Nice car and photos, glad you're enjoying it. The tiny speaker like holes you circled are actually microphones to pick up ambient noise and adjust the radio volume as needed.

I don't have much of a need for the headlight washers but the turn signals in the mirrors would certainly be an advantage here. Either that are the illuminated lights at the wheel wells flashing when signals are on.

Very nice Faisal! Your mirror on passenger side is different there too. The end curves out. US cars dont. Your taillights are different too. You have turn signal color. In US it is all red.

Beautiful car Faisal and wishing you the best and safe fun driving it. By the way the Track option is better for racing but unless you're on a mainly deserted open road I'd encourage you NOT to street race. These cars can easily get out of control and you don't want to wreck that beauty. Good luck!

On my 2015 Z51 I usually drive in Sport mode. I've switched to Track mode a couple times but on the street really isn't a benefit.

I love the pictures, especially the back ground, makes the car snap in the photos.

Drive safe and watch out for Scuds....

Please do NOT street race. Please DO wear your seat belts.

Car is awesome, you obviously love RED. BTW, how common are Corvettes in Kuwait?

Drive safe.

Great car and welcome. So how much is Premium gas over there and what is the Octane rating.

Remember Red Vettes are faster than the rest. Especially if they have full length carbon flash stripes.

Beautiful C7 and welcome to the Corvette Forum.

You should consider the Front Aero License Plate holder to replace the one you have mounted. Take a look at this Corvette Forum link as it shows its installation on a C7 just like yours. It's a GM OEM product.

And please take safety advice from those above.
