Default From one Z to another -- Pictures inside

I know the title is misleading. This is actually my first Corvette. Sold my 370Z a couple of months ago because I wanted an upgrade even though I loved the car. I took Courtesy delivery of my new 2LZ A8 Z06 on Friday with a great deal from MacMulkin Chevrolet. I've already changed out my License Plate LED's and my cargo LED's are next.

I have purchased Forgeline VX1 wheels in Brushed clear, RPI Signature Side skirts and Front Splitter, and a few other upgrades but these will take time to get installed. After the installation it's off for 3 coats of paint sealant and some tinted windows. Thanks for everyone's help in suggestions for my build. The car is a blast and I can't wait until my break in period is over.

Congrats! Few years ago I moved from my 350Z to a C6 and was amazed. You will not regret it!

Wow - that would be a world of difference in torque/power. I'm betting you're gonna have a ball.

Yep! My Nissan weighed 3500 lbs, same with the Z06, but I now have twice the HP, Tire patch and brakes.

Thanks,
It's actually a 2LZ. Sideskirts are ACS ZO7 carbon flash, GM splash guards and most of the car is wrapped in XPEL. Look fwd to seeing pictures of yours!

Oh my bad, the side skirts nicely complemented the overall appearance. I'll be looking for a set soon.
