Thansks for the pics, Onyx.
I think the car looks a bit odd with the transparent top as the white beams only go halfway up the roof. Is the transparent top like the C6 one with a solid frame on the sides or transparent all over? In the first case, one could wrap the outer sides in white to complete the look.

Second best option would be black roof with white roof linings up to the front. That seems to be possible with the carbon roof, but not with the glass top. Can anyone confirm whether you could take the glass top option and wrap the outer linings of the glass top in white while wrapping the middle of the halo bar in black to achieve this look?

Thx

Yes you can, I have my halo bar wrapped in the middle and want the outer linings of my transparent roof to be wrapped white. However, I can not find vinyl that matches the arctic white. Does anyone know where to find vinyl to match?

I have the exact same exterior but with yellow calipers. People always compliment the white body/white top with carbon flash. It really does look fantastic if I do say so myself

Yup. Welcome to Corvette ownership. The rear of them (at least C6 and C7) acts like a vacuum and will leave dust and other debris on the rear of the car. Completely normal.

I would have loved the carbon flash wing and mirrors, but I didn't order mine...bought off the floor. But I love this car.
