Beautiful car and great story. My story was about the same. Just a suggestion; that front license plate bracket should be replaced with the "Aeroplate." I just don't know what they were thinking when they came up with what you have there and the way it sets on the nose that way.
See this post and "Z51Stingray" recommendation on inserting your state plate. The use of the "Aeroplate" and the sweeping back of your state plate provides a much better look, if you ask me. Mine came with just the "Aeroplate," maybe because Oklahoma is a "one plate state," and the dealers here don't put them on anyway (salesman just showed it to me packaged up in the trunk).
