Default New Orange and Constraints

Is there a new list of what is on constraint? I also would like to know if any new info has been released about the new Daytona Sunrise Orange for the '15?

Constraints August 7 - no allocations this week


No cars have been painted the new orange, so just speculation.
Another DSOM picture - from GM

I too have a DSOM on order... There is another forum where one of their dealers posts the picture of constraints each week. The DSOM is on "startup" constraint. That probably means getting the enamel and water based paint colors to match properly and consistently.

My order is a convertible and the convertible tonneau cover is on constraint "supplier" delay. So... no convertibles and no convertible Z06....

The "Tonneau cover" that is on constraint is the new for 2015 cover that has carbon flash inserts. RPO E57.


E57 NEW! Tonneau inserts, Carbon Fiber

The lights used inside the factory do not show colors well. It will likely look very different in natural light.

I hope it's NOT very dark... The darker oranges look closer to brown.
