Great photos, thanks! Those new steering wheels look nice! What's your impression of ceramic gray, better in person? I'm not really feeling that one.

Someone today called it "Baby Blanket Blue" and I thought that was a fitting response to the color. My photos captured it pretty well. I didn't care for it initially, but it changes depending on the lighting, so there were some instances where I thought it looked pretty cool.

Really great! Thanks. It does seem to have a blue tint to it, the new off-white. GRiml. does have a point but I think there are so many ways to make a "metallic white paint." This is one of them but....

Thanks for posting. I'm curious as to when the steering wheel will be available from parts retailers and what the MSRP will be. I'm definitely interested in upgrading. It looks really nice and way less gaudy than the aftermarket offerings. Looking forward to your reports today Jag. Have a great time.

Thanks for posting these great pictures. Like others, I'm still not feeling the new color or special Carbon edition but I will reserve judgement until I see it in person. To me it still looks like a metallic primer color. I'm excited about the paint shop timeline information as Arctic White is still my number one color choice going into a 2018 Z06 so it sounds like that will be the first (safest?) color being sprayed in the new facility.
I like the new steering wheel, however I'm still leaning towards a Caravaggio. Also interested in hearing any new model stats, especially the Z06.
I know that Spice Red is no longer a package, but rather a 3LZ/3LT option color, however do they have any on display as I'm curious if the color coverage is the same as 2017 or whether they eliminated the colored dash, similar to what they did with Kalahari a few years ago.

I'd like to know the opinion of people that have seen it in person also.
Some colors just don't translate good in pictures.
Ever since 2014 there have been many people on the forum asking for a "metallic white" paint. They did it and most people are now "meh" about it.
