I Can't for the life if me get why the painted vent option is on constraint?? I know it's only my opinion but I think it's one of the worst options GM added to the 2015 C7. I can't believe there will be this many coming off the line with body colored vents. The carbon flash vents were one of the things I loved most about the car. I guess everyone has a different idea on looks, but to me it's " why would you NOT highlight one of the coolest features on the car?"

What are your guys thoughts on the painted vent option?

I personally don't like them either but if GM can charge $995 and people pay it, why not!

I like the carbon flash, or black, or whatever it is that they are on the '14s, but do keep in mind that just because it's on constraint doesn't mean that it's so popular that it's already out of supply. It could just not be ready yet and is on hold until it is.

Good thought, question. It seems to me that this is a marketing ploy only, and not very well planned out. It goes along nicely with the painted roof, a stock item that they can't seem to supply. Must be that the paint robots don't like to do the work, guess we need to call Wally to come to the plant and paint.
Really seems to add to the wonders of how a company as big as GM ever got that big. Offering consumers a product and then tell them that they can't have it is kin to communism. promise everything deliver nothing.
