Default So excited to be a part of the C7 family!

I have been looking at the corvette forum website for the past 10 or so years and have always loved the corvette. I had to wait until I finished up college(go rockets), bought a house, got married that kind of stuff before I could get one but i finally got one. I found this slightly used 14 2lt auto with performance exhaust for a great deal in oklahoma so i took a road trip to get it! I love everything about this car and i can not stop smiling everytime i hear the exhaust. This is honestly something I have dreamed about for the past 10 years. I want to put tint on the windows and also pick up some black winter wheels and put some AS3 tires on them for when the temps get 40 deg and less. I am open to suggestions on anything else i should do right away to keep it looking good.

Congrats on the new ride.....My 1st Corvette ever and I love it! You will too.

I went with 20% tint on my C7 due to the amount of sun we get here in New Mexico, looks dark from the outside, but easy to see out from the inside.

That looks really good with the 20% tint.

Waiting these 10 years was a good move. The C7 looks great.

Welcome to the corvette fold! Looks like the wait was worth it. Your car looks awesome. Sometimes the wait makes it even more special when you pull the trigger and realize your dreams!
Have fun and be safe!

Great Car, looks super! And, a good move in getting the car now. I waited till I paid for: 4 kids, 6 houses, 8 college degrees before I got my first Corvette. And, I can tell you 31 years is a long wait!
