I have a black HTC which obviously has a black top, but all the other colors I considered would DEFINATELY have had a black top

These are some of the nicer pictures I have seen of a C8 with the stock factory wheels. Well done!

Great looking Corvette by the way.

Couple years ago a buddy and I drove up from Florida and each bought a Callaway from them. We met the owner Bill, great guy but passed away a year or so ago, now his son Jeremy runs the show. Since the Callaway I've bought a 19 Z06 and a Tahoe from them. I told Jeremy that both my buddy Les and I wanted an early 2021 and he set it up for us. Got good trade in on both our cars, got the new ones at MSRP. They have been easier to deal with than my local dealers here.

The 2 Z06s loaded up and heading to Chi-Town (it was 75 here and something below 0 there)



Waiting to load up the new Callaways



Back in sunny Florida with the new hot rods

I would get the body color and then wrap it, then if you want you can always remove it.

I agree.....looks such so much better on the lighter cars. I recently changed my order from full black top to just all body color. I ca always get the top wrapped the way I want it later on. I just like the full color of my red mist coming soon.

LOVE the black roofs. This needs to be an option on the coupe!

I am surprised how many went for the body color trim, but still got the black top. Looks nice, just not what I would have expected...

I think the black top makes the car look even lower and more streamlined.
(the symbol means "Happieness".
Sorry, I don't have a picture with the top up -- this is Florida -- we always go topless.

Yup, very happy with how it came out. CMG looks great and changes slightly with differently lighting. Get many compliments, especially with the carbon flash roof.
