That is a GM-approved combo. No color override charge necessary to order that.

It's not for me, but it looks fine, and I can see why many might like it.

We were saying that long before the Canadians.

Conti has one on his lot right now rapid with adrenaline. Many of the euro brands pair red interiors with just about anything.

That looks good! The red and black mix of the interior looks good with the black playing off the black accents of the body. Red calipers look fine, and the blue seat belts look great also. I would also guess that this did not involve the $590 Color Combination Override.

That combination DOES require the $590 override.

You are correct! I should have went to the build site before making that assumption.

It's a combination I've considered, so I already knew.

Like exterior color, like the seats, don’t like combo. I think with that combo the bright red is a little much. Definitely a personal taste matter and if owner loves it —nothing else matters. I’d either want a darker red with the seats..or Elkhart blue with those seats.

What's the difference between "Natural" and "Natural Dipped"?

Natural still has some black. Natural dipped has everything covered in tan leather including the dash.


Morello Red doesn't go with rapid blue. I don't like any of the blue car/red interior combos. I think they all clash. Only thing worse is a yellow car with red interior.

My favorite "odd ball" combo is Sebring orange with blue interior. But I still wouldn't order a C8 that way.

2021 should bring out a lot more crazy combos with all the new stripe colors offered....
