It'd be a really cool option if they left the front and rear vent grills black.

I have them on my C8 and love them, but for some reason I don't care for them on the z06....

I would get it on the sides only on a Stingray but because of the very odd design of the Z06 side trim thingy, it just doesn't look good imho.

I need contrast. I find that unflattering to the design and angles.

I like the look, nice smooth lines blends in well versus the contrast look.

Agree. The contrasting “wishbone” is just not a great look - particularly with the assortment of other contrasting black trim pieces visible at the front & rear of ZO6. Same goes for C8 with the standard black side intake trim.

A really slick looking car. I am digging it. An elegant looking car in the convertible with the all over color. It's got me thinking....

Option EFY is available on both Stingray and Z06 — that’s been documented in the Order Guide for quite a while.

Hardest pass ever. It's a convertible, too so that's even more of a deal breaker.

That HTC back window goes down for winter driving at its finest with the sound of the lt6 more easily entering the cabin with the roof on.

the htc is a personal favorite for that reason for the lt6 powered c8.

Various models available for different perspectives and goals I’d imagine.

looks great and I’m sure it will deliver the expectation of excellence.

thanks for posting up the photo.

Body Color Exterior Accents is an option at $995 which was not available for the ZO6 at first but now is. I love it on my Stingray but no way do I want my ZO6 to be mistaken for an Eray no matter how much I prefer the look.
