Default [PICS] Our first Zeus Bronze!

First, before you ask, this car is already sold. However, it is our first Zeus Bronze so I figured I post a few pics. I've got to tell you, I like it a lot more than I thought I was going to. What do you guys think?

Since you asked...………..hideous.
Brown has never been a popular car color nor will it ever be.

I have another car in a similar color. I never even considered it while shopping and when I saw it in person out in the sun it won me over. I damn near ordered my C8 in Zeus.

Classy -- beautiful -- but I would never buy it.

Some however will absolutely love it and expect those people to look hard for one.

Dave, I think if you feature on one on the floor, especially with the gold wheel option, it will get more attention than you think!

Put MRR NES FG-X bronze forged wheels, Dipped Morello Red 3LT interior with Edge Red brake Calipers and Edge Red Engine cover with Shadow Grey exterior vents and you have the best looking C8 Coupe possible. Build one on the Chevrolet Build and Price and you will see an amazing sophisticated looking C8. I have no idea why GM charges a $590.00 Color Combination Override Charge when Zeus Bronze and Morello Red are absolutely complimentary to each other. You can see on any color wheel that they both are on opposite ends of the wheel to each other. Meaning they then are very complimentary color and hue wise to each other. Z51, Engine appearance Package, Front Lift, Magnetic Ride control, Front and rear Splash Guards, Carbon Fiber Interior Trim will make this car turn heads in a big way.

Dave S, The color is "OK" but Black Metallic Vinyl Stripes would be a good addition

Those factory wheels are G-D Awful Ugly.......Just a waste of Option Money
These C-8's badly need aftermarket wheels from MRR and other companies

Looking at the front face the seem over the left front tire the shade of the two body parts is slightly different. The same thing on the one delivered on Conti's blog in Ohio.

I like it with the tank interior but finding a wheel to 'complete' the presentation is going to be hard. The bronze makes finding a matching wheel shade difficult. I think Black wheels clash with the bronze. Silver just doesn't seem to fit.. Pewter is ... to similar to the bronze (?) To light or too dark just doesnt fit so I think pewter wins by default, if that can be considered a 'win'.

With heavy metallics it's easy to get shade variance panel to panel when the materials are different (urethane vs. SMC) or the supplier pre-paints the part (the side mirrors and roof bows), etc.

When the 2021 configurator comes out, we'll see if the yellow / orange stripes help this not so popular color out.

I think you will need a really nice set of wheels to make this
color work.
