I waited a long time and did a lot of searching for info. Put a place hold deposit down in Feb 2013 and ordered in May 2013! Saw my first one in August 2013 at Laguna Seca and received it the 1st week in October 2013. Suggest you download the Owner's and Infotainment manuals. Also lots of good Youtubes available.
Since you'll need some mods, like side skirts to stop the rocker panels from getting dinged, there is lots of good info on the Forum. I have 32 PDF's of my mods and some info. Here's one on the side skirt install with reference to others. May give you some ideas: http://netwelding.com/Side_Skirts.pdf

I ordered a C7--- black on black--- from Kerbeck on 4/22/15. I have a TPW date 6/8/15. Kerbeck has been great providing updated info. But the waiting and excitement is killing me! This will be my first Corvette! I keep hoping GM will post a earlier TPW date. How did you guys handle this terrible waiting game? And by the way I live in Bucks county PA and to date still have not seen one 2015 C7 on the road!

I live in Lancaster County, adjacent to Berks. Seeing quite a few C7s in our neck of the woods. I have seen more C7s being driven in the rain, even saw one operated in winter slop a few months ago. This trend probably due to the change of owner demographics. Waited for mine seven months, I had a C4 convertible that helped pass the time. Sold it soon after acquiring the C7, heck decided I would never drive the C4 after having the C7.

Yo Guy, The wait is nerve shattering. NOTHING helps, you see one on the street and want to cry. I waited almost 6mos. picked it up on 4/18/15 and it burned on 4/25/15. Major downer. G.M. is comming out to the dealership on 5/12/15 to inspect.

I was able to somewhat hold my enthusiasm in check for many months.... Then I was notified my car was built 4/29 and ready for shipment. 
I've been on pins and needles since then....10 friggin days later and still no car!
And I'm only 4 hours away from BG....
So if you think it's bad now....wait until Kerbeck tells you it's built. Each day that passes will seem like a week!

Mine was built on 4/16 as my dealer said it would be. It's been on a train or at the BG plant ever since. It's being sent to Phoenix. My ping to it's location via Onstar last night around midnight, showed it almost to Tucson (roughly 300 mile to Phoenix). I woke up this morning hoping to ping it's location and see it was in Phoenix, as that should be plenty of time to get there. Only to see that the car has now gone into sleep mode after not being started for 5 plus days. Once it goes into sleep mode you're done. No more pinging it for it's location until someone starts the engine again. Hopefully that happens soon. ARGH!

Dads; Central Bucks County, you are correct Sir, not many. Living in the Doylestown area, only occasionally do I see a C7. I've owned mine now for 18mos. Wish you the Best w/ your delivery! Congrats!

Dad's dream : I use both the Kerbeck website order tracking and Chevy Chat to get the latest order status. I'm at 3300 event code per Chevy Chat although Kerbeck hasn't updated since 5/5 and shows 3000. I asked for weekly email updates from Chevy Chat last week, so I expect an email each Friday from now on. Also, because I signed up for NCM buyers tour, I am expecting to know by Tuesday the exact date my C7 is going to be built so that I can plan traveling to Bowling Green. Really excited to see the "birth" of my vette.

They use bolts on the ends so are positioned but if you use the center bolts that would be too far from the edge. It used rivets in the center. No big deal accept physiologically drilling the first one! They are small and underneath and if you took the skirts off no one would see them. That assures a tight fit.
