Default Newish C7 Owner

Hi everyone!

I have been lurking on the forum now for a little while. I picked up a new to me 2016 Arctic White Stingray Z51 last October. Had a great time driving it before winter. It up for now because of the weather. I can't wait to get it back out in the spring. Figured I should register and introduce myself so that I can purchase some parts from the For Sale if anything happens to catch my eye. I want to keep mods to a minimum. I added the Stinger hood stripe so far. I am looking to add the Z06 front grille, Z06 tail lights, blacked out marker lights, and the clear tinted roof. Here are a few pictures I have.

Welcome and a great looking C7.

Curious where you got the exhaust plugs?

Thank you!

The plugs are plumbers test plugs. You can find them in Home Depot and Amazon, probably other locations as well. They are Oatey 33402 3" Test Plugs with a hole drilled into the wingnut to accept the ""Remove Before Flight" Tag. I put a matching tag on a cable wrap and attach it to the steering wheel to remind myself to remove them before starting the car. Perfect for washing the car or keeping any rodents out of the exhaust over the winter!

Haha, that Mustang is my pride and joy. First car, spent a lot of time with my dad working on it. I would never give it up for anything.
