Default GM's Color Combination Override option @ $590

Color Combination Override

◾Override recommended restrictions to exterior and interior colors combinations
◾Limited to sold orders only
◾See dealer for details


Would this GM available option allow me to do the following?

1. Jet black interior, with all around red stitching?

2. Two tone color seats; Red/Black?

If the option is not available then D30 cannot provide it.
1. Not available;
2. Not with Jet Black seats;
Dark Gray is two tone along with the others.... color/Black.

As usual Bob is right. The color override only allows you to choose existing color option combinations that are not normally offered together. Like choosing red seats for a yellow car, or a blue convertible top for a red car. It does not allow for an option that doesn't exist.

Bob, would the D30 and $590 let you choose the Brownstone seat color on a 2LT car?

Brownstone is not an available option on the Z06.
So no.

Neither blue nor red have the microfiber option. It was stated that the red and blue dyes did not leave an appealing color on the material.

That is interesting as I was wondering why the limited microfiber choices. Is GM investigating some other suppliers or is it final? I would like red with microfiber. Thanks

Never noticed that it wasn't available on the Z06. But no matter, I'm looking at a Z51, which DOES have a Brownstone option but only for 3LT cars.

If the color override fee would allow Brownstone in a 2LT car most likely I'd pay the $590 to get it.

Override does not apply to an option that doesn't exist. Only to options that are not offered together. So, no, you can't get brownstone in a 2LT because that is not an option that exists. Example: a blue convertible top is an option and so is a red convertible, but since they are not offered on the same car you'd need to override to get that.

As the description notes, it overrides recommended restrictions, not actual restrictions.

I had to pay the override fee to get the red interior on the Z07 as red was not one of the standard options..It was worth it to me though
