Default Took the plunge

After getting the bug last spring in a rental & reading every piece of C7 literature I could find in the English language, I placed my order with Mike Furman today!

2019 GS 2LT
Ceramic Matrix Grey
Adrenaline Red Seats w/ Black Microsuede Inset
Red Calipers
Black Wheels
Carbon Flash Center Stripe & Fender Hashes

The plan is to pick it up in June & take it right to the shop for Xpel, Window Tint, and maybe Ceramic coating.

Definitely excited!

Good call and even better going with Mike!

I highlighted a part above because Mike "may" be able to get this done before delivery. No 1st hand experience but definitely worth asking the question...

Good luck and have to think there's no way you'll be disappointed, other than maybe switching to a convertible!

The next few weeks of waiting are going to be crazy hard. But not as difficult as following the break-in procedures the first 500 miles...

Congrats...excellent choice!

Congrats! The wait will be worse than for a kid at Christmas. The only cure for Corvette Arrival Syndrome is getting "the call" that your car is ready for pickup, but you can visit the forum for treatment in the mean time.

Congratulations and welcome to the Forum. You're going to absolutely love this car! And +1 on Allen B's recommendation. Most dealers have an Expel installer that they use. I had my GS done after it was delivered to the dealer (MacMulkin) but before I picked it up. I'm sure Mike can arrange to have the Expel install done for you too.
Looking forward to pics of your car when you take delivery!
