Default finaly found a car

I figured id post on here what I recently bought. I was posting all over this site and others for the past few months looking for a car to buy. I was looking to buy a ws6 or firehawk but I stumbled upon a 1997 black on black corvette with low miles. I could not pass up the deal and im glad I didn't! this car only has 65k miles and is very clean. I have a few plans for the car ( wheels, tint, exhaust, lower it, etc...)

here is a picture of the car. does any one have any sugestions for me on what to do to the car? im sort of new to corvettes

Very nice! c5's are still extremely solid cars to buy.

Congrats! You'll be glad you went with a Vette.

IMO a much nicer Car all around than the Fbody.

I love Fbodys, but when I switched to a C5 I just can't go back lol
