Same TPW here... Same color car too. LB/Z51/A8 Coupe with all the carbon options and black wheels.

Thinking of getting the smoked taillights and of course a splitter and side skirts. Might do the Z06 grill or just go with the non-Chrome 2016 regular grill.

That's awesome. I have the splash guards, jacking pucks, Weathertech digital fit floor liners and some black sticky material to cover the front retainer as well as some random sizes of 3M clear bra material to cover a few strategic spots. I like the look of the Z06 grille but I'm hesitant to install it and mess something up on a brand new car.

5/18 for me too. Night race blue, A8, PDR, cargo mat, cargo cover, rear fascia protector.

And the car was produced.

I'm in for TPW 5/18 - ordered on 3/23.

First Vette - Torch Red / Z51 / M7 / PDR / CF Painted Roof / Coupe.

The reality is slowly setting in... guess I should get a few insurance quotes so I have some time to get over any sticker shock!

On my short list: jacking pucks, CAGS eliminator, quote Xpel installation, and maybe a catch can...

I'm not a fan of the mouth guard in the stock grille, so a Z06 replacement is tempting. Where are y'all getting yours?

Congrats on your first Corvette. This will be my 6th, but the first time to order one just they way I want it. Got word this morning that mine was produced so its just a matter of days now.

Now I have to decide which aero kit. I really like the stage 2 Z06 in carbon fiber but can't seem to find a good replica one. C7 Carbon GTX is next on my list if I can't find what I am looking for.

I know there are sooo my different factors, but, does anyone know about how long it would take from the time the car is produced to being delivered? I live 4 hours away from Bowling Green.

May not be an answerable question but I thought I'd give it a shot.

Oh man... I have an LB order as well with a 5/18 TPW. I heard they build in color runs so mine can't be that far behind you! I am also in the Dallas area so we will probably be taking delivery the same day!

Make that 3 in Dallas. It seems like they shouldn't have any reason to delay loading up the truck!
