My AW 2016 Z51 finally
Well I have never owned a new car, hell I guess this is a good bar to set. My fourth Corvette purchase. car was built the week of my 28th Bday
Although I went through hell with my dealer, but eh thats done.
I did the museum delivery on 9/3/15 what an amazing day. Although it was rushed because of the bash it still worked out great.
So far couldn't be more happier with the car. Drove it back home 800 miles. Although I did lose Ac and had to leave at Dealer so didn't quite make it home. But I'm not going to be sour, there was a hairline crack in the AC line and I slowly lost all of the AC.
So far I have gene culled modified it haha:
16 Z06 grille
Z06 splitter painted in CF
Z06 quarter scoops
GM Splash guards painted in CF
5% tint
lowered on stock bolts.
full Xpel Kit my ClarityAuto Detailing (houston)
Deliver at the museum
outside the museum as cars for the bash were coming in
The cool steering wheel with CF/Competition overlay
As the car sits now
Bumper and fender removal!! I've only disassembled 3 body panels in the first week! haha
Getting xpel applied

Awesome, and thanks for the pics too. I did not like to hear about your AC problem heading into Texas.. that sounds like it must have been really disappointing. Easy fix thankfully.
The car looks awesome.
