You're killing me with these photos as I have an ELB HTC on order with the same wheels. Reminds me of my annual trips up Hwy 1 through the central coast. Long Beach here.

Anyone know if there is a ELB next to AB. Had the AB on my 17 and loved the color.
Is the ELB closer to the AB or Laguna Blue?

Must be ELB day at the museum today. All of the even numbered delivery bays have an ELB car.

What are those white indents on the rims? Why is that not just a circle? It gives the impression that stg is broken or sticking to that.

The ELB is a really great color! I'm still torn between the blue or AW. Wifey likes the white better, but, my first car was blue and this C8 most likely will be my last one. Still undecided, but, with the place I'm in line to get one, I have a long long time to decide.

Picked up my ELB HTC last Wednesday. Still has the Novistretch Mask on the front that I put on for the drive home from Austin. Loving it so far!

Beautiful car. What do you think of the blue interior now that you've got it, and can see it in all of the different lighting, compared to the ELB paint. Does it "match"?

Curious as well. I have the Sky Cool Grey on order but the Tension Blue had been poking at me for months. It certainly looks good in the middle picture, but in other photos I’ve seen it worries me.

Match is a strong word, lol. I would say the Tension blue complements the ELB, especially when the light shines on the paint showing lots of shades of blue, from dark all the way to the tension blue color. I really like the Twilight blue (dark navy) inside too. Especially on the A pillars and headliner. I think it looks much nicer than black. Overall I am very happy with the color choice, there wasn’t really anything that we liked better. It’s a little “flashy” but like I have said, it’s OK to have a flashy interior on a flashy car.

Thank you for the pictures, and your response. I think "compliment" is really the word best describing my question too. I'm really on the fence about going this way as it definitely adds some visual punch and is pretty unique.

Well, blue on blue certainly isn’t a new idea. Your photos have given me the itch again.

That's the way the Q8Q wheels (5-open-spoke Carbon Flash-painted aluminum with machined edge) are made:
