Ordering question
Does anyone know for certain. When ordering TU7 two tone seats do you also have to pay for D30 color override too on 2LT GS?
Thanks
Thanks

In some cases, but it's hard to tell what case that will be when it comes to GM. Try www.chevrolet.com, and use the "build, and price" for the Corvette. When you select the car color, and then the interior color. A pop up will tell you if you your eligible to pay the "combo override" of 590 bucks. 
And, also if you're building a convertible the top color will also figure into the override. I know the top deal from experience.

I don't think that the two tone seats themselves cost the $590 color combination over ride.
If you build a 2LT yellow Vette with red seats it will force the $590 CCO. Continuing with this build you can still get two tone seats for an extra $395.
Or you can build a 2LT Admiral blue Vette with red seats and there is no CCO. Although you can still get the two tone seats for the same $395.

OP - I hope you get a clear answer and I don't mean to shift direction in the thread, but why does GM charge the over ride fee?
Does it actually cost them more to configure it this way? Or is it a money grab?

TU7 requires either Gray or Adrenaline Red Interior. With Gray, only Sebring Orange would require D30 color override. With Adrenaline Red, Long Beach Red, Sebring Orange and Corvette Racing Yellow would require D30.
You can see the allowable interior/exterior options here: http://eogld.cloud.gm.com/NASApp/dom...page=9&butID=3 (bottom chart).

Personally, I feel pricing on most all GM optional features are inflated.

It doesn't cost any more to produce a Yellow exterior with a Red interior than it does a Yellow exterior with a Black interior. However, which one has a larger market appeal?
ALso, what happens if the buyer backs out of the deal. Now the dealer is stuck with a difficult to sell color combination.
I'm just speculating here, however from an assembly line manufacturing perspective anything that causes a deviation from the normal process or results in additional time increases costs. How much is the question.

The color over ride charge is to help discourage anyone from ordering what Chevrolet considers to be bad color combinations. They are probably color combinations that have a very limited market. Some people may like it, but almost everybody does not.

Prices are not set solely based on the cost to manufacture, but also on what the market is willing to bear above and beyond the cost to manufacture. If you think Corvette option prices are high, go look at option prices on other sports cars.

Ok, thanks for replies. I think I was with y'all on this . I have come accross a few sales people that are not up on some of this. I have seen in another thread where codes did not match order for 2 tone seats and luckily for the buyers it was caught before placed to the plant.
