Does anyone have a straight on front view with the red stinger stripes and the red fender hash marks?

Been wanting to contribute to this thread for 9 months! Really happy with my color choices. ELB is beautiful and really pops in the sun. The two-tone black/red interior is getting tons of compliments. Fantastic car.

Almost a TWIN (wing/mirror colors)




These are the new wheels I posted above. SF07's in BLACK CHROME, OEM 19/20 spec.

The visualizer is absolutely horrible in rendering the stripe colors. Midnight gray looks almost black on the visualizer and it's not even close to that in real life. We've not been able to put eyes on the Sterling. I've asked 3 forum members details about the photos they've posted and nothing. Here's what the visualizer tries to show:

In real life, the visualizer's Sterling looks like Midnight in person. We suspect that the Sterling in real life is quite bright.

We've asked the dealer and have asked Chevrolet chat 3 different times to send samples of the 2 colors. nothing. We've asked at NCM, nothing.

We are pleading with the ELB thread if you could please identify the details in the photos you post. If you have some comparatives between gray and silver, we'd like to see them. We've only got a few more weeks before we go to status 3000.
I was so sure the SS stripes were what I wanted but backed out at the last minute, and glad thatI did.

IMO, ELB looks fantastic with no stripes. The color stands out without any enhancement. whatsoever. It’s just a great color, better than I could have imagined.

I agree the ELB C8 stands on its own merits, without stripes.
You can always add them in the future, with your own stripe pattern and colors.

I had 100% planned to add them at my detail shop after PC, and before PPF and CC. I was so stunned by the color, I called it off. The shop owner told me “why cover up and detract from the beauty of the color?”.

This one is going to be generational, so you c8 driving boomers are going to have to Google the reference, or just me that it's a good joke.

I <3 ELB! Finally picked her up on Friday. After seeing most every color at MM, no doubt I made the right choice!


MM showroom on pick-up day.
