Congrats. Good looking vette. Can you get by without front plate in H?
No problem here in DFW.

Beautiful car. You are still learning things about it? Hell, I have had mine for a long time and still find things I didn't know about it. especially in the DIC. The owners manual is about as long as War and Peace.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone! I wish that I could lose the front license plate holder, but in this part of Texas I will for sure get pulled over and get a ticket, sad but true. I agree, the car would look a lot better without it, but it is not to be.....

Great color -- and you got the rare 4LT in a low-production year.

Very Nice
If you are planning on keeping the front plate on the car you may want to consider this.

The car has a lot of options, 25K miles, it is a 4LT, Z51 package, chrome wheels, both the clear and painted tops, heads up display, factory spoiler, etc. So far I am really enjoying the car, and I am still learning about all the features. I really want to thank you guys for help and answering my questions about C6's, and I want to give a very special Thank You to forum member FLHDEN, we sent a few emails back and forth and he really helped me out in too many ways to mention, Denny, I owe you big time, very much appreciated!

Beautiful Gregg, I really am happy for you. Thanks for the shout out, but we had fun together searching and researching cars from all over the country. Looking up vin's and trying to find a JSB car at first with the options that mattered most to you. One day late on a beauty in Va, but once he expanded his color choice he found this one right in Texas.Did you ever find out about the NPP issue? Again my pleasure being able to help in any way possible. Made a great forum friend in the process. Best of luck and welcome to the C6 forum. Lots of great people here who help me out all the time.
Denny
