A beautiful color but I would have ordered blue if it was metallic. About a month after I ordered my car Chevy finally corrected their website and added the word metallic to the color name. Very strange that people who have actually seen the car in Admiral Blue don't think it is metallic.

Why is it on some cars the CORVETTE lettering on rear is black, & on others it's chrome?

Chrome badging is standard (free). Carbon flash (black) badging is a $100 option.

I would buy today but I just had my hip replaced so I want to make sure it is good first. Also we just moved in to our new house last Nov so we need to pay off the landscaping first.

The nice thing about Admiral Blue with Adrenaline Red is it's no longer a $595 color override option. Mine had black interior but I added red seat covers because I didn't want to special order it back in April. Good luck with your hip recovery.






Halfway through the installation.

Thanks, not paying the $600 is a big plus now

That is the Stage 2 rear spoiler, and "stock" (Stage 1) front spoiler. Has the Stage 2 side skirts too (stock are only half-length).

TCorzett is correct, mostly. The whole car has a Level 2 Aero Kit. Level 1 doesn't have a Carbon Flash or Carbon Fiber front spoiler. (This car has the Carbon Flash Package, saved a thousand dollars). Level 2 also has full length side rockers and taller winglets on the rear spoiler. It also has been coated with the Ceramic Pro Gold package, including the wheels, glass, and interior. Purchased new two weeks ago with 18 miles on it.
