[QUOTE=CamarosRus;1603518425]Anybo0dy KNOW What's involved in Removing the BLACK Body Side pcs

I asked one of the GM Reps at NCM 25th Anniversary Bash that question. He said the door pieces were the 1st to go on, meaning the interior door panels would need to come off to remove them. I ordered them on my 2020 TR coupe, and will order them on my 22 HTC no matter what color I decide on.

I haven't got mine yet, I'm in the #1 position for a 2022 at my local dealer @ MSRP. I much prefer the cleaner look of the body colored accents. I love the clean look on the Accelerate Yellow. Too many that I have seen with black accents, black roofs, black stripes or some combo of such, give the car a bumblebee look and I do not want that look on mine!

If I wanted a C8, it would definitely be with the body-colored bits vs.black. It makes the design more cohesive to my eyes.

Yeah interesting that in the original design concepts, they were actually body colored.

If only AYM looked that beautiful in person. The color of AYM in this picture is gorgeous. Unfortunately, in real life, it's not even close to that.
