Seeing/hearing/reading a fair amount of push back against the SODP for $7K and specifically more than a few who have commented that they do not like the bronze interior trim. Amazing at the November 28th reveal, how many folks peared into the convertible and said out loud, that they were not like the bronze trim — and similar comments by some folks at the LA Auto Show.

And why I believe we are already reading posts about folks who are getting (and loving) SO, but without the package, instead planning to hand color their stitching, order orange seatbelts from their dealer, also dealer order the special SODP floormats, and, separately painting their calipers SO (by buying the customer caliper kit from G2).

Although, I already have a friend who is going a slightly different route and getting his calipers OEM blue (picks up the blue in the ZR1 emblem).

I am not typically a pro-orange color, but having seen the SO in person twice, I really like it!

I would agree if the odds said they were the most desired colors but the odds say they are only selected about 12% of the time (12% is for either black or white not 12% each).

I like the SO but can't imagine the bronze. Until I see it won't make any decisions.

To bad they only have one ugly blue color. I wouldn't mind that lighter shade electric looking blue. I feel like that new orange is gonna be worn out real fast, at the moment I still like it however. I really still love the DSOM color. I bet they bring it back for a year or two.

Wow, I'm really surprised orange is the #1 color, getting 30% of the vote.
I thought Blade Silver or WG Gray would win out.
I hadn't a clue a lot of guys wouldn't mind driving an orange car...

I still like the CMG, but it is really flat and looks a lot like a wrap from what I can tell.
For those of us around in 1963, paint code 912F, silver blue was awesome too

It was also on the Corvair

We ended up with black. Black is the best color, as your Vette automatically loses 200 pounds. And it’s the sexiest....

Did you ever hear anyone talk about the woman in “that little blue dress”? Exactly
