Hello everyone!

Really excited to join you all and learn about these gorgeous vehicles. I’ve always dreamed of a Corvette as a young kiddo and happy to say I own one now.

Picked up this 16’ C7 Z51 Stingray about four months ago with 7,400 miles (felt very lucky on this one and definitely meant to be)

Do have a few things on my list and can’t wait to get started on it soon.

1. EOS stage 3.5 kit
2. Procharge, cam and full exhaust
3. Oracle smoked side markers
4. Z06 clear tail lights
5. Carbon flash all vents/inserts etc

Here are a few pics and will definitely post better ones soon!

I might have to look into that. Been doing my research and I see a few people having issues with the tpms light coming on dash when replacing them with LED markers?
