There we go, nice! I don't have the carbon top or spoiler/mirrors but do have transparent top. Was worried all the black may be too much, but yours looks great with even more. Thanks

gthal - sweet looking! I have always been a black on black car owner but saw the red on the C7 and was converted.

Out of curiosity, what shade tinting is that? Looks darker in the offset picture but surprised how you can see straight thru on the direct side picture. Thanks

Nice. I ordered a Torch Red Non Z51 Coupe, Standard Painted Wheels, Standard Roof, last week. Identical to yours, except I went with the Z51 spoiler and Red Calipers.

Default silver wheels - torch red

I replaced my black wheels with silver. I like the look much better as do most old farts. Also, new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's.
