Thank you for the compliment.
No problem keeping the seats clean so far but I've only had the car for 3 days. Ask me again in 3-4 months.

Congratulations, Phil--a beautiful car. I especially like the body colored accents--I have them on my 2016 Z06 and appreciate the more "stealth" look. When I added side skirts to the Z06 also did them in body color. And I do really like the Elkhart Lake Blue. If I ever get to one, this might well be the color combo I chose. P.S., having lunch tomorrow with Marc and Dom. Taking the Z06--if the rain and snow stop here that is! --Bob

I did. Just went up to Culvers for a burger in Dom's Chevy Volt. Marc recently bought a 2010 BMW M3 for a daily driver and was putting tires on it so the Volt was the only ticket to lunch for three. Fun to get together again; long lunch discussion--I believe we solved all the world's problems. Wife and I are off on a road trip to Florida next week so won't make the Gathering but Marc will be there. Marc's barbeque is the first Sunday in June (5th) so I will be there.--Bob

Not great pics, rainy day/dirty car but thought I'd post photos of my new (forged) Aerollari Radian wheels-polished, graphene glaze:

(no, I don't live across the street from a Dollar Tree, but my installer does)

Anyone have Elkhart Lake Blue with the Tension Blue two tone interior? I'm wondering how they look together.

Pictures above are an accurate representation of what it looks like. We really like the combination on our car. People have asked if it matches, my answer is “no, it does not match, but, I think the colors complement each other”. I was slightly concerned about whether I would really like the two colors together, but I am glad I ordered it that way. I think It definitely gives the car a “flashier” appearance.

Okay, we nailed the color for our C8, but now are torn on the interior color. Opinons?

I struggled with this decision for my build which was submitted last week. Ultimately I decided on 2LT in black with GT2/Suede seats, and the new blackout trim. Added red seatbelts, purchased a red "Z-Mode" button from Paragon, and will be ordering Lloyd's Ultimat in black with red stitching. Planning to diy the stitching red as well. Should break up the black blandness without going full-Superman.

I did the Full-Superman, except omitted the red cape. Interior is 3LT jet black with white stitching.

Default ELB Natural Dipped

I struggled pulling the trigger on this color combo for a while but I’m so glad I did. Love that’s a relatively unique combo and that it gets a lot of compliments.

Default ELB Engine Cover

Bought the engine cover a couple of months ago, but frankly, I was afraid to touch anything in the engine compartment. Everyone told me it was easy…. so I finally mustered up the courage. What a great addition! Up next? Just ordered some engine compartment LED lights. I’ll keep you posted. 😊
