I figured it was time I become a member of this great forum. I purchased my first corvette in October of 2017 and have been all over your forum to make every decision that I have made since the purchase. I'm attaching the first picture I had of it, from the dealership. I was thinking of posting some stage changes, as this forum has motivated me to do many... Maybe too many, BUT, I love my car more now, than when I first got it, so... Maybe not... Thanks for letting me steal everyones creativity! By the way, she's a stingray, z51, 3LT, Limerock green, Kalahari interior...
