2020 C6 of the Year Winner - Modified
Default Shadow Gray w/high wing spoiler & ground effects

Didn’t see these posted but if they were please delete. Also saw video on FB of the Hendrick Motorsport hauler unloading a bunch of C8s - guess he got to pick up his own cars.

I would agree - needs to be on a wide-body with better/ more concave wheels.

That color is blah as well to much blue as if they couldn’t decide between gray or blue & just mixed them.

That Vette looks blue to me. And also looks like a transformer with all that tacked on aero.

After seeing the ground effects kits, I’m not that keen on it anymore. Does look as good as it did on the configurator.

A gray/green base with a bit of silver flake, but more green and purple flake.

The color is more gray in person. The blue is just in the photo. And what is wrong with blue? I am glad I ordered a shadow gray metallic HTC. Color is a very personal thing any to each their own.

Actually, from my view it’s not blue, it’s green and not just in photos. It was my first choice until I looked at several different vehicles in SMG in different lighting. The initial visualizer color was off (since changed) and I wanted (and thought it was) more gray like Watkins Glen, but this color had too much green for me. In sunlight, it’s not too bad, but in low light conditions, the metallic didn’t sparkle and it reminded me of a mud puddle. Not saying it’s bad, but it wasn’t for me, so I’ve gone another direction and hope 2021 will have a few new options.

If you like it, that’s what’s important as you are buying the car.

It'd be nice if GM would limit the ability of the jort NB'rs to do this sh*t. Such red neck garbaaage! Degrades the brand, really encourages those who aren't uncouth to de-badge their cars. This is soooooo hideous!

And, I'm one of the few who appreciate the enigmatic C8 Jake too!

I like the ground effects, hate the wing. I like big wings, but that one is just atrocious.

The C8 is also in serious need of good looking wheels with a better offset and lowered just a little bit. I think that will really transform the car.

So much wheel gap...
