Default Greetings!

Greetings! Picked up my first Corvette, a '13 Grandsport, back in December. Look forward to learning and building the car with your help! I enjoy designing builds and I've been lead to the forum every time I ask Google a question. Live and work in Huntsville Al and serve in the Air Guard down in Birningham.

Some background on the vehicle and current build status:
  • '13 Grandsport coupe, auto, ~16k miles
  • Vette lights led everything
  • Morimoto sidemarkers and rear tail lamps
  • Soundshield sound deadening in the doors
  • Kenwood 958 headunit
  • Infinity speakers replaced in the center, door uppers, and rear
  • Pro clips phone mount and charger
  • Pulled NPP fuse
  • Noco battery charger/tender
  • Future:
    • Need to install the Morimoto C8 style headlamps
    • Continue sound deadening the hatch floor/partition
    • Install Kustom seat covers and floor mats
    • Have some Redline alcantera for a few touch points (shift boot, e-brake, armrest)
    • New Wheels and tires (Vossen HFX-2 / Apex / Forgestar are in consideration) in anthracite or silver
    • Exhaust
    • full fluid flush/replace
    • Maybe some ppf on impact areas?
    • Investigate current tint application (prefer all ceramic around)
    • Harmonic balance looks good at the moment
    • Maybe lower .5?
Here are some pictures with my current daily ('25 Ram RHO). Again, look forward to meeting everyone and thanks for having me! -Andrew
