Welcome and Congrats.... A new Vette is a wonderful feeling! Now prep your bank account for a major blood letting. It's time for mods...

Welcome to the forum. First test is to see that yours is a vert with carbon flash painted mirrors. Not quite an exact same specimen! Also you do not (and never should) have that front plate holder that messes up the paint and stripes. Enjoy what you have. My second favorite color with stripes!

Yea, my car had that large/ugly front plate holder on when I bought it, but it was off and replaced with a sleeker model a few days later. Luckily there was no paint damage.

We are supposed to have a front plate but I never have on my Corvettes or most of the other toys. Looks so much nicer without.

Have you driven it yet? A C7 is the best one to buy. So glad I bought a new C7 in 2017.

Sure did and that was all it took! To me the C7's are reminiscent of the C3's which is my favorite generation.

That is exactly right! That's why I bought one too!

Lines of the C7 were like my new 1977 Corvette I bought in the photo below:
