Here's mine: Blade Silver, straight black interior with yellow belts
f important cars like this being classic, and when I think of the most classic Vettes I see Silver with black, so I felt good about that. I'm very excited! Pic is the car in Vert form, which I may still be able to obtain, pending confirmed allocation of the 2020 for Canada. God I want the convertible!
Question Looking for your thoughts! What do you think are the best C8 configurations you have seen?!

This was one of the cars that went on tour on the west coast and I was in love with it. This sky cool grey interior is becoming such a popular choice in making a stylish statement. I think this is going to be a great build and am excited to follow your build after you receive it as it seems we are both looking to do the same thing aftermarket. Keep in touch!!

anyone who is fortunate enough to be able to get a vert will instantly be a hit among all car lovers. Silver is making a strong comeback and I am happy to see lots of orders submitted in it.

Its one of the few colours that looked just as good on the C7 as it does on the C8. I had a WGG C7 and it was the second most popular colour on vettes produced in 2017-8 and I am intrigued at the lac or response for it on the C8
I picked, 2LT Torch Red, Z51, Front Lift, Red Engine cover, Black Rockers, GT2 2 tone seats Adrenaline Red, High Wing Spoiler, Transparent Roof Panel. Just found out went to event code 2000.
We ordered the 2LT trim with Z51 package.
Finished is Elkhart Lake Blue with the Chrome trim pkg.
Seats are the GT2 in sky cool grey with the sueded micro fibre inserts and sued steering wheel. We did add the front end lift. Wheels are stock silver spoke. Did not do the engine trim. Figured aftermarkets would be out soon. The red calipers should pop.

Wow I would have never considered making this. I love the subtle contrast the dual indy stripes make. Really cool build.
Awesome! I'm in the April 6th. club too!
Hello Corvette enthusiasts, just watched Rick Conti's video on what people are ordering and I thought it would be cool to hear what people are building/ like. Share with us what you have built and ordered and maybe we will all gain some insight on what is the most common C8's that will be finding new roads this summer
To start things off I have my Ceramic Matrix build with a 2/3 TPW. I actually have not ordered it with the LPO black trident rims and high wing from the factory for a couple of reasons.
1, The LPO Black Trident rims come with the OEM standard rims as transport and cost $3600!! Being a cost effective buyer I bought the trident spokes in spectra grey for half the price and will get my friends at Alloy Wheel Specialist to powder-coat them a nice black.
2. I have built a relationship with ACS composites over the years and I will be installing their complete Areo package on my model once it arrives. I am a bit nervous as they have not been able to release their C8 products until GM start delivering production models.
I spent a lot of time contemplating the colour and I went with Ceramic in the end. I felt that this generation shows better in lighter colours. With it being such a large jagged exotic vehicle the lighter colours help show off some of the beautiful lines in the bodywork. Arctic White was the most popular colour in the C7 so I knew that would be a saturated model for resale. Resale red was already so popular that they put it on constraint a few weeks ago. Rapid blue and Velocity yellow did not promote the lifestyle I portray so I landed with CMG in the end. I am excited to hear about what everyone likes as eventually I will be having to build retail stock units after all my orders have been placed and this is one of my favourite things to do.

the only thing I'm not sure about now is the high wing spoiler , it may be a little too much for me. if i were 25 years younger it would def be going on but now...
Torch Red 2LT Z51 High wing spoiler, Transparent roof, Front lift, Rocker panel extension black, GT2 seats, 2 tone seats.
I like the High wing spoiler but even better having the Z51 package I get to keep that spoiler. If I decide I don’t like the high wing spoiler I can switch and likely easily sell the High wing.
Front lift I thought was a must as I have a car lift in the garage for storage and wanted to be sure I could get the Vette on without scraping the front.
Rocker panel in hindsight I wish I wouldn’t have got this one. I see the aftermarket ones are larger and offer more protection.
I thought the Z51 package was a good deal and wanted the bigger brakes and wing.
Same with LT2, I thought it offered a lot for the money.
Heard GT2 seats were more comfortable and wanted 2 tone.
Had ordered the carbon wheels as I wanted a black wheel but after reading posts and Morgan’s reference to a local company doing powder coating, I changed to the stock wheel and will likely get it powder coated.
What I may have changed if I wasn’t at status 3000. If I had a chance to see the natural interior I may have went with that.
I think now I would have added the ride control.
Also looking at a local dealer to put a protective wrap on the front. Hoping to talk to some people that have had it done and what to protect and where to get it done.
Morgan hope to see you on Tuesday with that beautiful car.

Featured - This is what I think I will order.
I will refer to my early post 😂 It is the 21st century - time to move beyond yesterday and get with the program -:chicken:

LT1 Package bare bones Stingray , Black interior with Long beach red paint .l will be putting old school American rims in flat black as all the Chevy rims suck in price and looks. As for Shocks and Exhaust that will also be aftermarket . There will be no spoiler as that just slows me down. In a year or 2 when tech nerds catch up l will install a Nitrous Oxide system that should put me up around 625 rear wheel HP. This system will only work when it's turned on and full throttle is engaged.
The way GM has us hobbled us with their used car lot option tactics it really pisses me off with things like no full time rear camera mirror unless you go to LT2 is leaving them open to Lawsuits.
Shame on you Chevy .

This car looks wonderful in pretty well every combo. For me it was wanting something quieter this time after my yellow car. It's SGM on black. And not with that plate.
hey bikerjulio, i went with same colour except i added yellow callipers and yellow seat belts plus trans roof and rocker panel extensions
I'm undecided about the high wing, may be too much for me
high wing means high lift to get over it as it is attached to the body not the trunk lid...to me pain in the ass
I saw this colour last year and
I saw it next to what you see below:
The garbage can colour
and it reminds of a Smurf's colour
If it is driven at night, no body will know.
