Default new guy on the block

So my name is Rob Dilts, handle on here is Bucksrob. I live in Ohio. Bought my first Vette back this past summer and finally getting a username to discuss and listen to the great feedback I have read over the past months.
I have a 2016 C7 Stingray Coupe, Torch Red. I did put ground effect side rails, front splitter with matching center red insert, rear spoiler and many other things to inside. Chromed out the engine pretty decent and still want to do some other things to it. I had a Mercedes Benz SL550 before this and traded it on my little red corvette... lol Love my baby I have to say and will certainly reach out to many on here for advise as this is my first Vette owned. below is my feeble attempt to add some pics, sorry so big. Taking the wheels and tires off to have wheels DPVd to a high chrome finish and then get remounted to some new tires at least in the front. I am looking forward to meeting many on here and talking all things Vette!!!



Newly chromed wheels with new Continental Extreme Covering tires added..

Welcome! Congrats on a great-looking car (the right color, too )!

You stumped me (and google) with DPV. What's that?
