Ordered my first C7 today

I have been looking for slightly used or new for a couple months now and came up with nothing. So I decided to order with the options I was looking for. So here it is.

1LT White with Black Interior
Performance Exhaust
Black Z51 Wheels
Red Painted Calipers
Carbon Flash Badge Package

Planning on the following modifications.
Tinted Windows
Dark Tinted Side Markers and Reflectors
Front and Rear Sway Bars
Spoiler, Still Undecided Over Black or White

Glad to be a part of this forum. Lots of information and helpful people. Now for the hard part...……….WAITING.

White cars with lots of black accents are freaking amazing looking (I may be biased a little). CONGRATULATIONS!

Welcome, and congratulations on your First C7. You will love it, they are amazing cars.

My first C7 was a 14 Z51 I ordered, so I am very partial to your color choice. I would say go black spoiler.

Does your user name imply you use 1 foot for the gas and 1 foot for the brake or does it imply you use 1 foot for the gas and 1 foot for the clutch. In other words did you get a stick or an automatic trans. Welcome aboard!

Congrats on the new Vette! Its a good thing you live in Florida! If you lived in my neck of the woods, you'd be staring it sitting in the garage under a cover until April! Special ordering is the only way to go. I got lucky when I was buying and the dealer had exactly what I was looking for.
