Nice looking ride sir! Welcome to the lowly 1LT GS Club...
We can help ya start spending that mod money, just ask us!
First ya need a 2LT drivers visor so you can control the garage door opener and the Mild2Wild controller....and maybe a different front splitter.
The list goes on and on....
Again...congrats!

Ahhh....wise choices Grasshopper!
I think those were my first (winglets) and last mods (lights). Loads in between tho...my .02, get the rock guards for the front and rear wheelwells before ya start throwing trash all over those panels. Cheap insurance they are.
Did you end up with M7 or A8 tranny?

3 weeks ago, I paid less than $55k for this 17 GS Vert (loaded) in show condition. GM Certified with 9,300 miles. Pre-owned deals are out there if you are patient and do your homework. Download the app Corvette DNA onto your phone - the best Corvette value/option/educational tool you can get.

M7 which is a little tricky getting used to finding 5th and reverse being down instead of up.

The dreaded 4th to 7th shift....no power in the pedal there.
Now ya just gotta wait out that 500 miles to make that low redline disappear, and get your oil changed.
