I think it was at the dealers for about 6 hours!

Trying to figure out what I want to do to it. Exhaust seems to be a great choice.

I have a lot of questions that group advice would be great. Hope I can get some help for 'best practices'

The Whipple cooler looks pretty nasty to install. Does anyone have any results from that alone?

Got the nifty CupHolderHero kit. Nice little kit.
Also got the recommended aluminum pedals. :)

Question about the Start/Stop button. I bought one of the cool carbon fiber covers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088CHHM49/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1. HOWEVER, but button doesn't have the LED hole and the writing on it glows like the radio. Is my button different than others? Is there another cover I should look at that allow the glow to come through? I'm wanting to incorporate some red highlights into the interior and this was great for that.

Any break in suggestions?

Anyone swapping tranny or axle fluids? When I had my C5 Corvette, it was pretty common for people to do that.

Thanks all!
Chad

Break in is pretty much for driveline, brakes and tires. Rings are already seated. Just don’t stay at one steady speed for long periods for the first 500 and and your diffs and trans will be happy. Stock fluids are fine unless OCD kicks in, then Amsoil is good LOL!

If your start button wording is lit, I wouldn't do a thing to it. That's a step up IMHO.
