Hey all! I'm finally at 3300 and getting close! Can't wait to have my new Stingray! 
That being said, I'm excited but a little concerned at the same time. As awesome as this car seems, it appears to have some nuances as well. Radiators leaking, wheels chipping, GPS is no good, doors don't close the right way, and more... lots more!
I've had foreign cars for as long as I can remember. They are (in general) built very well. This is the first American car I've purchased in ages. I'm hoping it lasts and I don't run into a slew of problems.
So, I came here for some reassurance. Are you guys absolutely satisified with your purchase? Any regrets? Any recommendations for added 'stuff' from the dealer? (i.e. tire/wheel protection, extended warranty, etc.?) I do plan on getting my wheels powder coated but I wish I didn't have to do that.
Here is my build: Laguna blue 1LT Coupe Z51, black wheels, 7 speed, magnetic ride, GPS, carbon flash stinger stripe, spoiler, and mirrors.
I've heard about rocks being kicked up from the size of the tires and causing small chips in the paint as well. I heard the mud flaps/guards from Chevy aren't that good. Any other options?
I want to summarize by saying I am definitely excited about this car and I don't regret it. It just seems that a lot of people here have quite a few problems that should not be problems on a brand new vehicle. Hoping for some encouragement!
Thanks, can't wait to post pictures of her.
