Just ordered my very first Corvette!
Been on the forum for a few months trying to learn all I can. It has been very informative indeed. I placed my order on Monday and it got picked up by Chevy today. I should get the actual build date very soon which I anticipate for around the end of March.
I ordered the 2019 SO Grand Sport with 2Lt
7-Speed Manual
Transparent Top
Heritage Package
Carbon Flash badges and mirrors.
Black Wheels
I will do the aftermarket matte carbon fiber dash and waterfall after it arrives and will post pictures. $10K under MSRP.
Thanks Everyone for all the good info again.

Great choice, enjoy the car.
For your first mods might consider:
If you are not planning to Track the car getting ceramic brake pads ASAP or cleaning your wheels from excess brake dust ever 100/200 miles. On my 2014 did that or the excess dust was pitting my black wheels in addition to looking bad. Switched to Carbotech 1521 pads and then washed my wheels only when I washed the car. Have those pads on my Grand Sport.
Also suggest getting ACS Splash Guards for the front and GM's for the rear.

Congrats. The danger of lurking on this forum when considering a C7 - is you end up purchasing one.

Congratulation, and as the late Tom Petty said, "The waiting is the hardest part". Welcome to the forum, and post some pics when it arrives.
