Nice combo, but glad I did not get the tint coat, a little too much tomato orange in the paint for me.....I wish it was a rich deep metallic red....

The interior looks a little too much like Alabama clay for me.

Color balance is way off but we get the idea. I think the combo looks great!

Great color combination. Just what I ordered and currently at 4D00. Interior looks a lot richer than the cashmere in my 2011 GS which is also Crystal red.

Not a fan. I probably won't like it until I am older. I used to hate MAG RED, now I don't think it is a bad color at all.

Nassau Blue has NEVER grown on me though, oh and I don't like any blue since LeMans. This year GM redeems themselves!

I like the interior color. Boy it sure looks like a smallish space in there, especially for the passenger. I went over to the dealer and looked at colors on the 10s-2012s and I was pretty surprise how small the interior space was for the driver and passenger. I was looking at the 60th anniversary Z06 and it looked like a smaller interior than my Boxster. I was very surprised and now a little worried it will be cramped and borderlined claustraphobic.

I am 6'2" and have never felt claustrophobic in any of my Vettes. My wife HATES them. She says she feels like we are in a "cockpit". We are because this is a Rocketship baby!

That's what I am worried about, my wife is gonna hate it. She doesn't mind the Boxster too much, but she likes to get trucks to sit up high. She never was really a big sports car person. sorry, I think we drifted off topic. Reset

Thanks for posting the pics. I ordered CRM, so it was nice to see more of it. Did you happen to see one with black rims and have a pic? Thanks.
