Very Sharp! Congrats! Although I have seen a few cars with stripes that I thought were well done...One was a recent post at Criswell ( https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ve-to-see.html ). I generally like the clean look as yours is with no stripes or stickers.

Nice looking car ! I bet it would really look good with the Z06 Black wheels/ Cup tires I have listed on the Forum. Enjoy it, far better than any Mustang

Thank you all for the welcoming arms! I have been driving and enjoying this thing all day. But can someone explain to me why sometimes the digital dash is dim and other times it isnt??? Is there a way to change it in the settings?

The only thing I can think of is the lights are set on auto. If you go through a shaded area and they come on, it dims the dash for nighttime driving; when the lights turn off, the dash is back full on. You can control the lights manually if you want, that'll stop the dash lights from dimming. At least I think that's how it works.
