Default Ceramic GM/Tension blue

Just received my call from dealership to put my 2022 C8 order in. I have my sights on CGM/Tension blue coupe, mag ride, perf.exhaust, low spoiler, reg. Sil 5 spoke. Going aftermarket with rims. Anyone have this color combo?. Is the color combo still desired by you. Thanks for any feed back.

The 3 LT tension blue is beautiful to look at. I highly recommend it.

Thanks. Your car is a beauty. I am also thinking red interior as 2nd choice. Have until Tuesday to decide. Decisions, decisions….

I've got about six months before my number is going to come up, this is the combo I'm strongly considering. TB interior is amazing. Ceramic Matrix, with a hint of blue in it, seems like a complimentary fit to me. It's such a loud interior, in my opinion, a more subtle exterior seems likes the move. I've see it on a lot of Rapid Blue cars and its a really aggressive combination.

Tension Blue was my second choice for my 3LT HTC in CGM. I went with Morello Red.

I think the color combo you are looking at would work very well.

I was shopping for a 2017 SS back in the day when I discovered Ceramic Matrix Grey Metallic. I thought to myself that if I ever get a C7 I would get that color. To me it has a light blue tint sometimes.
During that time I saw a special edition C7 Grand Sport with the Tension Blue interior. I was blow away by the color.

So it was an easy decision to order CMG with the Tension/Twilight Blue interior.
I get lots of compliments from strangers on the color.
I think there was about 82 CMG in 21 with the blue interior.

Love that look with the body colored side vents !! (Big Fan)
Maybe suggest tension blue calipers to finish the look !

@jon5014ren do yours EXACTLY like @Cratchet did - HTC with body color trim. His is spectacular, and without the black trim competing with the blue interior, the interior just pops. @Cratchet just beautiful, and I'm not even a CMG fan.
