Default Well, I did it

A nearby dealer called and said a customer decided not to take the car he ordered. I went there this afternoon and bought it. 3LT Lime Rock Green with kalahari interior. I hate to say that I had no regrets leaving my C6 behind. I'll get better pictures tomorrow. Bought it at MSRP after they tried to tack on $5K.

It has the machined face wheels. I don't think they look much different from the silver painted. I have to see if I can get the non-machined parts powder coated black.

You're welcome! If you get a chance, please be sure to post pictures in The Official Lime Rock Green Metallic Color thread.

For the wheels, I suggest that you paint the non-machined parts the same carbon flash as the vents and rear fascia. I think that would look awesome.

Thanks for all the comments. Now, I need to figure out all the technology. I can't seem to get the memory seat to work. I have the same problem in our Porsche. So, it is probably me that has a malfunction.

If you are using Memory Setting 1 try the other FOB. There is a FOB 1 and a FOB 2 which match each Memory Setting.

Lime Rock Green is on my short list of colors... but I do love Velocity Yellow.
