Great idea bringing it to FL. I am wintering near Flagler Beach and saw a while C7 about a month ago there. Maybe you can make it two white C7's there for a day or two!
Have fun. You will LOVE this car.

Looks great! Congrats. Reminder: Love bug season in Florida starts in May and it will do a number on your new C7 and will have you pulling your hair out (if you are like me) 
Obviously, don't let it condition your trip, but it is something to keep in mind.

Each to their own.
Personally, I am not a big fan of the stripes on a corvette.
Just too over the top for me which is a surprise since I am of the 60's muscle car era where eveything had stripes!
Of course, I like the chrome wheels.

BEAUTIFUL CAR 
Mine is very similar. 3LT, Artic white, black wheel, carbon flash mirrors and spoiler. I did the Carbon fiber top, and did not do the red brakes.
I debated for a month between getting the Carbon Flash stinger strip or the carbon flash dual strips.
Ended up with stinger. But dang the dual strip looks great Now I am second guessing mine.

So after ordering mid December my baby finally got to the dealership !
Couple observations I would like to make for those deciding on options.
I ( Had ) to have z51 this is a personal preference obviously. I also got mag ride along with npp exhaust.
Flipping the dial from track to tour gives you Imamate feedback in steering and suspension. This car rides amazing in your and handles super firm in track. I never knew a corvette could ride so nice !
My wife talked me into the 2lt at the salesman's desk when we placed the order. I'm so so so happy she did ! The cooled seats ad some much needed comfort that is very nice. No more sweaty back. Heads up display is about 1000x improved over the c6 HUD
Some things that i noticed in the 100 miles I covered today. Going from a six speed to the 7 takes some getting used to. The gear indicator is wonderful and much appreciated.
Overall it's a amazing machine. Yeah it's got some orange peel but I was expecting that. I'll get it cut down to where it should be this summer. Most of all though I was iffy about the stripe. But I think it's perfect ! Now that It's in person. It breaks up the white nicely.
This car should have 3000 miles on it in the next two weeks were taking it to Florida for a much needed vacation. I can't wait till it's past 500 miles. It sure does feel like it has boat loads of power. But I'm going to treat it nice for the 500 miles.

Because I'm a used RV / vehicle dealer. It was a bitter pill to swallow for me going new. This is my fifth corvette but the first one I've ever had to pay sales tax on !
It's was so worth the 4k in tax to get exactly what I wanted though.
Here it is next to my old c6 old vs new
