Already been enjoying it! Have put little over 500 miles on it, and been trying to make the best of this virus situation. My wife and I have taken quite a few trips on the blue ridge parkway!
I was wanting a C8 but once the manual transmission was taken away that made my decision easy!

Congrats on the new ride I see you got the fastest color. What % tint is on your windshield and could possibly post a couple more pics of the windshield I was thinking of doing mine, or is that just factory looks a little tinted can't really tell by the angle

Love my C7/M7!
Once I realized that the C8, was going to be stickless,
I was out on 'em too. Started right then shopping for my new 2017 C7/M7.

Thanks for all the compliments! The front windshield is not tinted must just be the angle the pictures were taken. Since I live N.C. and the law is 35% I figured I’d just stick with what ever is legal. I figure it would attract enough attention from the police and don’t need any reason for them to give me a ticket.
The ceramic coating cost me $625 for the car and wheels. Which since the shop has tinted quite a few cars of mine he discounted it. Plus he made quite a few videos of it on his Facebook as advertising which I was cool with. So I figure it was a win win for both of us!
The splitter, side skirts and spoilers are all GM parts. My last corvette I really wanted those on it just never got around to installing them myself.
