Thanks for the pictures. Looks nice in SO, and with a decent set of wheels could look pretty hot. Having said that, I dislike the so-called upgrades (snowflakes) even more.

That's pretty damn cool.

I am guessing I will never get to see anything like this in Washington State. No demos, no manufacturer cars, no nada. Probably won't get to see one until a customer car actually hits the streets.

I ordered the same color with yellow calipers. Snowflakes wheels but in gray I think. Alcantara interior with red stitching and red belts. Body colored side slants. I attached my personalized plates for impact

It's official: I don't like the wing in body color. It' needs to contrast the body.

at least you have definite pricing, all we have in Canada is a vague reference from one GM employee at the reveal.

You ordered Sebring Orange with red stitched seats and red seat belts...Really??

PS: the calipers are greenish yellow satin, not classic yellow, just FYI.

Those wheels are hideous... I have to say that GM missed the mark on wheel selection for the C8. Aftermarket will have some great options

Looks like the 2LT interior trim and competition seats with the gray stitching. Is that right?

That will very much depend on the lighting you viewed them under.

Jeez, dude, try to learn at least a little bit about how various light sources affect color perception.

Hey Genius aka Lil Man with Big Blower on old Vette,

They are greenish yellow in normal daylight -- like how most people will see them. They probably look different in your moms basement on your computer monitor.
