Which dealership did you order from?
Just ordered our C7. Wife and I went back and forth on the color also red, white, blue (we are so patriotic). We settled on white.
Arctic White
Adrenaline Red
Red Calipers
2LT, NPP, Auto, Nav
Convertible
We love the contrast of the black against the white also.
Now we will see how long it takes to build.

Which dealership did you order from? You do understand the allocation process, correct?

Still won't believe it until they call with actual build date.

Yeah, we live in Colorado and have two high powered convertibles on summer tires. There is a diesel F250 parked next to the garage.
What's interesting are the comments we get. Mustang people give us crap about the Vette (I had a C6 before the new one) and from Vette people about the Shelby. They are two very different cars, but both are loads of fun.

9 months, 2 weeks and 4 days later Zee is finally home !!!
What can I say that has not been said already. Having bought this car sight unseen and no road test obviously, I as many others took a leap of faith and spent a lot of their hard earned dollars with the General.
Well today was the first time I pressed the start button on my car and in one word just "fantastique oui oui" !!! (pardon my French...)
I was a bit nervous heading home in the middle of rush hour for my first drive but I did notice the "looks" and smiles from fellow motorist as I was heading home. Did get a few thumbs up, other drivers would give me right of way when it was not mine to take (guess wanted to get a better look?)
Anyway I am a very happy camper. Can't wait to drive top down for the full effect!!!
So now Zee is sound asleep for a couple of days but looking forward to the week end for some more fun!!

Needless to say I love your car...

For those of you who plasti-dipped the chrome grill how is it holding up? Does it weather well? Do you have problems with bugs sticking to it?
I'm considering doing it this weekend but would like feedback first from those who have done it.
Thanks AW bruthas.

I'm wondering the same question and can you wipe it off and is it glossy or a matte? I've never seen it, so I don't know what consistency it is and where can you buy it? Thanks

It can be peeled off and is flat, they sell a gloss coat for it but I have never used it. Should be able to pick it up at your local hardware store. It will come in a spray can.
