Congrats! I have not been a fan of red cars for years but I love the C8 in red. I passed two (red ones) this weekend on the freeway and they looked stunning in red.

I assume the interior is natural, but the pictures make it the yellowest "natural" I've seen. Is that really what it looks like?

I think its the transparent roof letting a lot of sun light in. Changing the look of the beige.

Beauteous. Particularly like the body-colored vents / trim and silver wheels!

OP. Will you paint or wrap edges of the transparent top to match the paint? Or maybe do the whole top of car in gloss black to match the transparent top?

I have always hated that on the C8. The sides should be color matched. Just lazy and cheap on GMs part.

Car is gorgeous enjoy in good health look forward to seeing your modifications.

Undecided as of now.

I will get side windows tinted maximum to match the tiny quarter windows.
That will tie all the black items together on the roof.
