Default My C7 Order

Ok, after a few weeks of going back and forth on color choices here is what I am ordering.
Arctic White Coupe
Z51
3LT
Brown Stone Interior
GT Seats ( Suede Inserts)
NPP
CF Dash
Mag Ride
Chrome Rims (hardest choice, I was torn between this and black but with the Brown interior I thought the chrome would go better)
Red Brake Calipers (I know $600 is a lot, but I just rather OEM than getting it after market)
Total is $69,785

I really don't know if this option get suede on the doors or not, but honestly that does not matter to me. I'll just be surprised when the car ships.

Any input guys?

Sounds great. All that counts is that you like it.

The suede on the doors is exactly how you see it in pictures of Brownstone interior. No worries mate. Good looking car 100%

Looks close to mine, except for color. I ultimately went with black rims to reduce the cost by $1500, plus I think they'll go better with the black vents.

Thanks guys! I will place the order Friday or Saturday. I guess GM won't start processing them for about two more weeks. Now all I have to do is wait about 5 months or so...

Assuming your order goes in right away. Dealers have allocations spread out up to 9 months. If your slot is down the line a bit, you may be waiting a lot longer that 5 months.

I like all of the options except chrome wheels. I am not big on chrome on white cars. I like polished aluminum much better for white. Sounds like a beautiful car though. The brownstone interior looks really nice and would be perfect for a white car.

Don't say that CM!! Yea who knows when I get this car. Im pretty high on the list, but its a smaller dealer so even though they have allocation we have no idea if the larger dealers will get theirs first or what will happen. A lot will depend on when GM actually starts putting them into production, build rate, etc.

PS I do really like your drak green/ brown interior. I would have went that route, but the wife told me I could only get the car if I got it in White. So I took what I could get.

Corvette owners are slowly starting to loose the gold chains...now lets start killing the chrome wheels one pair at a time.

I'd go with black wheels and interior on a white car, but you have to buy what you like.

I had black interior on my C6 GS and It was okay, just kinda dark in the car. I thought about black interior a lot on this car as that would make the black wheels work, but man I really just like the brown stone with the white exterior. Thus making the wheel choice that much harder.

But now if I get the chrome rims I need to also order a gold chain with a Vette Pin attached to it. It will so sweet with my air brushed leather jacket! (Or maybe not...)

I like the brownstone too...but not so much with a white exterior. Too many other exterior colors would look better with brownstone interior IMO.

Like it. If I went white, I would go black wheels and red interior. I would not waste the extra on chrome wheels because I would probably go aftermarket at some point.

Artic White doesn't exist! ARCTIC WHITE does. Sorry, couldn't resist. I'm sure just a typo.

I do like the white. It shows off all the nuances of the C7.

Really? I have seen this color in another thread and it looks to be poop brown. You asked for input I personally think you better rethink this choice.
