Black — really works with the black roof on the HTC. Had mine ~ 2 months and very happy I went that route…

Default Delivered Last Week

Deposit to MM April, 2021. Delivered to dealer here in Las Vegas last week. I know. It’s up on the lift. I’ll send pics when i pick it up and get it into the sunshine. Waiting on high wing spoiler. Also adding heavy duty ASC mud/rock guards and Corvettepartsonline heavy duty radiator grille guards. Still, the car is far more beautiful than I ever imagined.

You will absolutely love it and look for a reason to drive it every chance you get.

Finally gave her a bath for the first time since purchase 6 weeks ago. The bright sun makes the ELB look a little more washed out than normal today.

After a seven month wait, I have the C8 I ordered! Sold the Torch Red I bought for the interim and picked up my ELB a couple of weeks ago. Had to wait another week for the high wing to come in and get it put on, but so worth it!

ELB and Adrenaline Red interiors......... thinking we were going to be "Original". much to my pleasant surprise, there are a LOT of us. Great Color combo!

Beautiful. Every time I see one of these things in your paint/wheel/interior combo, I am dying to see it with torch red fender stripes (driver side only) and a white skunk stripe. Channeling one of my all-time faves, the '96 GS.

I came very close to pulling the trigger on ELB over red with black/polished rims, with the intention of "customizing" it as I describe above, but I flipped a coin and decided to go another way (no regrets )

C'mon, somebody -- just do it (and then proudly post in here).

That looks good! I foolishly looked at the ad at the top of the page, there are SO many different ways to combine colors on these things. Sigh. I'll come up with something interesting, I hope.
