Brother in law ordered at same time I did 2/18. We know the allocation game around here and he was getting the worse of it. I had my name sprinkled around town on may lists and one dealer we purchased 2 vettes from called me with a unspoken for ZR1! Called the Brother in law and this happened!

That blue is the reason chrome wheels exist. Beautiful combo. Congrats!
Btw, since you have the blue stitch interior I will point this out: The Carbon 65 headliner is blue stitched, and CAN be ordered via part number. I have that info somewhere on my computer from doing research on my ZR1 order. I also have the dealership manual PDF on how to replace the headliner. It does involve cutting glue, cleaning and re-bonding, but it's a fairly easy DIY if you want the headliner stitching to match the rest of the interior.

Thanks! Both his car and mine have the dual roof package, i use the transparent top and stored the carbon, convinced him to do the same. I did Red stictch and it’s not present on my headliner, what are my options?

-Grumph. Not much perhaps. I can think of two things.
1) Find out if any previous C7 with the white thread contrast stitching had a contrast-stitched headliner. Then you could buy that headliner, swap it, and then use a red dye marker to stain the threads red. It works well and is easy (if slow), there are threads about this on the forum.
2) Attempt to stain the black threads with a more powerful fabric marker. This is iffy, but possible. Would definitely want to test it on some test thread first!

If you do locate the info about the blue stiched headliner I would appreciate if you post it or PM me with the same. My Admiral Blue ZR1 is being built this week and also has the blue stiching option. I was considering coloring the stiching from the factory with a marker. The Carbon 65 headliner seems a better option. If I feel I would do an inferior job after viewing the instructions I would send the work to my local upholsterer who did a fine job repainring the comp seat in my Z06 under warranty.Thanks for your insight.
