Default Thanks everybody!

I've been a member of this forum since August, 2015. Since then I have learned what's good and what's bad and what to do or not to do. I've watched videos of what the car can do and I've read all the opinions of what options to get.
Well, I finally did it! I just got back from the dealership where I placed my order. It's going to be exactly like my sig shows.

Thanks for all of your help!

Now the wait begins. Wounder where you ordered it from? Placed my order with Stasek just about 3 yrs ago and picked it up the middle of April. I'm coming up on 35K miles and the car has been perfect. Let us know when the big day will be so we can watch the delivery on the web cam. Best of luck, Tom

I ordered from Vince at Stacek. It was a great experience. I found better pricing out of state but I felt much better sitting across a desk from Vince, face to face.
Don't worry, as soon as it hits Corvette Blvd I'll let everyone know.

I went with Race Ramps, one of the standard brands. Remember to get the 14in ones. I just ordered via Amazon. LINK

Consensus seems to be these are not needed with today's tires, but just like being safe.
