Howdy y'all!

Hey guys. First time Corvette owner from the Houston metro area. 2013 Grand Sport with only 7,500 miles. Bought the car from the original owner out of NJ and had it delivered last Thursday. Already replaced the factory wheels with C7 Z06 blade wheels I had powder coated black, wrapped the halo/roof, replaced the side markers, tinted the taillights/switched to LED bulbs, replaced the head unit with a Kenwood while adding a backup camera and made a custom M2W switch that I put in the ashtray cigarette lighter spot. Been a busy week! If anyone on here is in the West/SW Houston metro let me know. Here's a before and after(currently).
