Nice color, it needs chrome wheels and badges!

Color isn't bad at all but the black wheels just don't add anything to enhance it. I'm still not a believer in black wheels but that's just my personal opinion.

Why is it that GM can't seem to paint silver on these C7s? Every one I see has panel match problems and uneven flake. Look at the gas cap vs. the surrounding quarter and the roof bow vs. the hatch.

That color looks to dark. To much like a rusty brown color from the 70's .

One of these things is not like the others, one of these is not the same.
You got a good point. Orange really should not be part of the colors name... The color is closer to brown than orange.

These pictures don't do the color justice, its one of those colors you need to see. As you know we have seen pictures of TR that look pink. My pictures posted in this forum a couple weeks ago from my old I Phone camera were closer to the real look in the sun. These pictures have way to much cooper in them. I also think this color needs silver or chrome wheels. (But were all different). I think it looks great on the ZO6......with chrome wheels.

a red Corvette... never would have figured eheh. Gotta agree though... way too many DSOM's out there now..

The color ...at least to me... runs along the same lines as why I chose the Vette. For the money, I could have picked up countless other cars... that everyone has... The car is very eye catching, very rare compared to all the others... and stands out everywhere...

Another example of what TR looks like through a camera at times, does not really look like watermelon.
