Nice photos. thanks.

I noticed that the shot you took of the hood grille on the convertible, it looked as if it was painted the body color. Is it, or is it black?

It appeared that I could see the blue metal flakes in the hood grille that matched the remainder of the hood.

Also, on the NPP exhaust and the AFM valve. It looks as it the actuator is electric motor driven instead of using engine vacuum. Is it?

It is Carbon Flash Metallic Black. No body colored option. It is just due to the light and angle of the shot that it appears to be body colored. The NRBM paint can appear almost black in certain light. There wasn't a lot of contrast between the two but in person it was much more apparent.

The exhaust valves are electric.

Hi Randy,

It is Night Race Blue Metallic (same color from the C6 palette.) This car also has a navy blue top (again same color from the C6 family).

Thanks for sharing the pictures. The interior pictures are as good of pictures as I have seen. The interior quality level looks considerably better than previous generations.

Thanks for the great pictures, Paul. Particularly like those taken of the front end from a low angle. Best I've seen.
