First sports car a C6 Corvette, central NJ
So I finally got my dream car a C6 Corvette. It's a 2010 1lt cyber gray with chrome and glass roof. This is also my first sports car...one hell of a first sports car lol
I've had it for about 2 weeks now and I love it. It's in very good condition too.
I'm planing on doing tints 20% sides and rear and 35-50% (haven't made up my mind yet) for the front windshield, a muffler delete, LED interior lights, fogs and reverse lights.

Cool ride..I'd check local laws on window tint. The cops frown on tint in NJ big time.
I would do a muffler delete..the droning could give you a headache after an hour on the highway...
Buy a used exhaust in the for sale section of the site if you want it louder.

Welcome to the Corvette "family" and forum from someone "down the shore!" Beautiful car, beautiful color; looks to be in perfect condition!
As JerriVette said, don't go crazy with the tint...cops don't like it, and who knows what the MVC inspectors will do. I also advise keeping some type/level of exhaust muffling ability. My 2012 has the dual-mode exhaust with a mild-to-wild controller and sometimes I find that factory system bothersome in some types of driving...(but then again, I'm old.) My wife absolutely hates riding in it with the exhaust valves open. LOL...and she's NOT old!

Thank you everyone.
As far as tints go, the car is registered in DE because I have an address in DE and because I work in DE. I do spend about 95% of my free time in Central Jersey though because I grew up there and all my family lives there. For me Central Jersey is home, DE is just business lol. In DE getting a tint wavier is easy. Already have one on my daily driver.
The exhaust idea sounds like a better alternative to the muffler delete. Only attractive thing about the muffler delete is how cheap it is. I've used this car to drive from Central Jersey to DE and back already, so it will be used for long rides from time to time, a long ride with no mufflers may get annoying.
Guess time to do some research on exhausts.
