Looks to be only partial matte black.

You're speaking my language! I know there's a good amount of people who dig the black wheels these days, but to my eye there's nothing sweeter than a black Corvette with a set of chromies. I love how the guy in the photo is even taking a look back at the car!

Should definitely be a sticky. Here's a good example on another forum:

I have seen other forums do it, that was my thinking for starting it. I PM'ed Talon90 about it a few days ago, see what happens.
Meanwhile, the matte on everything but the black bumper looks stupid.

My Stingray finally arrived today -- Oct. 24, 2013! Thanks to Dave Salvatore and Dave Brown at Kerbeck in Atlantic City for outstanding support and professionalism for the past 5 months. They are absolutely the best in all respects, and I thank my lucky stars that I bought my car there.
Some comments about the car:
Here are the photos!
Some comments about the car:
- The carbon fiber roof is stunning. I tried to photograph it (below), but it's very difficult. It is a very deep effect, and is very high quality. I'm really glad I went for it.
- The active rev matching is great beyond words. It's almost startling the first time it happens, and I can't tell you how much confidence it gives you on the downshifts that it will be smooth when you drop the clutch. I only wish the car could be forced to always start up with rev matching engaged. (Chevrolet, please update this!)
- If you're tall and you fit into a C5 or C6, completely IGNORE all the people who say that you won't fit in the C7. I'm actually a little upset at the people on this forum who made me feel anxious that I wouldn't fit in the car. The fit for me is about the same as my C5, and I don't feel restricted at all. It is a wonderfully comfortable fit.
- The upper microfiber trim option is really incredible. For those wondering, the roof panel is also trimmed in microfiber. The quality of the material is outstanding -- at least as good as high-end luxury cars.
- I was immediately struck by the smaller steering wheel, and how perfect it feels. I didn't think I would really notice much of a difference, but I did, right away.
- The voice used in the navigation system is excellent. Very clear and sounds like a regular person speaking to you, instead of a computer. I'm shocked to be saying that it sounds better than my Audi's system.
- The voice recognition system has not misunderstood me a single time. Absolutely learn all the voice commands, because it will make interacting with the car quicker, safer, and much easier.
- The C7 is such a colossal leap past anything Chevrolet has put out in the past that it will change the car industry. It's that good. I think the demand for this car will not let up for a long time.

Great shots. Congrats. Very nicely photographed! Love the carbon fiber interior. Takes the whole dash to another level. Congrats. I'm hoping to pick mine up this weekend.

First, I did not know of it being posted on the Lambo site. Second, I felt the same way about the height and couldn't stand it; mind you, that shot was taken the very next morning after delivery. It has been lowered since - 0.75 inches front and rear.
