Thank you...no, that's not tint.
When I ordered the car I had Bowling Green install Black Headlamp Buckets, (which they charged me for).
They are the same ones that would come stock on a Black car. I felt the contrast would look better than the stock 17U silver that comes with a Blade Silver car.
Some folks like it, and some don't, but hey it's my car, so I got what I wanted.
Once again, best of luck with yours!

I bought one C6 sight unseen. I was a little disappointed as there was a nick on the right rear edge.
But it was from a private seller. I would expect a dealer to be more thorough.
If hes covering the cost of shipping, he made some nice coin on that ride.
Is it being shipped covered or uncovered?

shipping open or closed
Don't concern yourself regarding an open carrier. Remember it was probably shipped to Florida open. A grand isn't gonna get enclosed from Miami.
I bought my '09, from a dealer in Michigan. This was back in 09. It was in December and went thru a major snow storm in Michigan and 14 inches of rain here in South Florida. The delivery was perfect. I have since shipped it back and forth to and from CT every year. All trips on open carriers. Nary an issue.
Since mine is a convertible, I demanded a top rack. No fluids dripping from cars above, and I have seen some wrecks on board. Even though yours is a coupe, I would ask the dealer to get it placed on the top rack anyway. The run up 95 will not likely require a change of vans.
All I can now tell you that you will have a heck of a powerful car under you. Be careful. Particularly with all those pot holes up there.
Enjoy your new ride.

Thanks everyone. They had a ton of pictures on the for sale ad and I looked pretty closely and it didn't look like there were any scratches or anything, and the dealer said that it was in excellent condition. They were originally asking $44k and I started with an offer of $38k. Negotiating went on over 2-3 days and we eventually agreed upon $41k and they cover shipping. I'm happy with that price being that the kbb value was just over $45k. As for shipping, I'll have to ask if its being shipped covered or uncovered
