Blue has always been my favorite on cars, but that LBR is just great looking!

Also, anyone else notice that picture in the middle it has a bright blue seatbelt?? Interesting choice.

IMO, LBR doesn't really work with the C8.
The C7 on the other hand....

Yes, I'm having an internal battle on this one. I am 1st in line for a convertible at my dealer so I have time (to choose color)....
LBR is SO good looking on the C7, I need to see a base (no dumbass spoiler) C8 in LBR with any of the silver wheels. I don't think black wheels do LBR any favors, even on a C7.

^^^^^

I think the lack of contrast between the tail light lenses and LBR kills the look of the back end(for me).

I don’t know, I’m picturing this with the spectra gray machined trident wheels... 😍

Is that a 3lt interior? I'm trying to figure out if the dash, tunnel and doorcards on the 2lt are the same stitched leather as in those photos.

When I bought my mine, I thought black wheels would be the way to go...until I saw one at the dealer with silver wheels and realized black would never work for me.
