New Owner
I just purchased a 2014 3LT 7spd. in Crystal Red Exterior and Kalahari interior. Has NPP and a black carbon roof. Only 12k miles. Picked it up for 50k. I can't wait to drive her home. I wanted Crystal Red or Laguna Blue but there are no bad colors. I really like Blade Silver too. I seem to go more for the metallic colors. It's time to sell the 08 which I have loved owning. I'll take some pics when I pick it up at Christmas. The only thing I'm not crazy about are the painted aluminum rims. No Z51 but I would rather have the better ride and save money on tires.

Congrats on the C7.
New tire prices for Z51 vs non-Z51 are really not very different. A full set of Z51 OEM replacements run about $37 more than a full set of non-Z51 OEM replacements (today's prices on Tire Rack).

Here are pics of matching items I added you may want to consider to complement the visible OEM CF roof: CF hood vent, CF side skirts, CF splitter and a real CF cover for the chrome grill bar:
