Default First Time Vette Owner

Finally purchased my first Vette. 2014 Stingray convertible in Artic white with the black interior/black wheel combo. Absolutely love it. For the first couple days I had to look out in the garage to make sure it was still there and not a dream. Looking forward to learning from this forum like I have for my boat and jet ski forums. Now where do I start with the MODS ??? LOL

Welcome & Congrats! Post us some eye candy!

I would drive it around and enjoy it in its current form for a while before getting any mods.

Planned mods.....Corvette Logo puddle lights, Xpel vehicle wrap and the Motorized front license plate holder. Here in Ohio not having a front plate is a stoppable offense. (thumbs down).

Would love to hear you sound off regarding the Xpel vehicle wrap(clear film). From what I have read so far Xpel seems to be the better choice out there. Thoughts ?

Not sure about Ohio but in Texas motorized plate flippers are a Class B Misdemeanor.

§ 12.22. CLASS B MISDEMEANOR. An individual adjudged
guilty of a Class B misdemeanor shall be punished by:
(1) a fine not to exceed $2,000;
(2) confinement in jail for a term not to exceed 180
days; or
(3) both such fine and confinement.
