Thank you! One thing I found out was the rear tail lights are not like the Z06 lights, they are the stingray rear lights. I also saw at least three manuals while on my tour.

I thought was told they would be the same.

That first pic really shows the metallic hue to the paint. Looks great.

Hey

I got an email from NCM stating my car will be at the Musiem on Monay 7/23 and the invoice should be sent to the dealer at the same time. I am not sure how true that is, but I am suppose to get a phone call Monday. That's a good sign, it sounds like things are finally ready to move.

I think WGG is my new favorite color. It's darker than any of the other gray's offered yet on the C7.

No, those are options. Well the big splitter is an option. The small one wasn't installed yet in the factory photo.

The WGG color looks like the metal flake is kind of chunky.
My SGM for comparison.

I have a feeling there is no historical significance. They just thought it looks cool for 2017.

I am pretty sure there are no side skirts and you get them if you add the optional GS aero package.

If you look at the photos in this article you will see some GS's have the aero package and some do not.
