Default Matrix Grey

As unique as it is, this interior doesn’t seem to be very popular? Not a match for all exteriors I know. Seems like a no brainer with Accelerate Yellow but does anyone have in combination with Ceramic Matrix Gray??

If so, please send thoughts (glare? wear/dirt etc). Pictures...? Of my half dozen HTC configurations Matrix Gray with Cool Gray/Strike Yellow is currently the most intriguing, sight unseen though it may be...

The reflection of the dash off the windshield is going to be awful.

Default C8's being Delivered: Any Sky Cool Gray/Strike Yellow Interiors

Greetings,
C8 production is back in full swing. Spring is here. Does anyone have real pictures to share of their Sky Cool Gray/Strike Yellow interior. My order is about a month from delivery as I'm at 3400 and scheduled for Bowling Green next week. I promise to share. But in the "between time", we'd love to see some real pics. Here's an oldie from the floor of MM.

Rounding up the usual suspects.

Elkhart Lake Blue, 3LT HTC, GT2 seats with yellow seat belts. Sorry there's covers on them - I'm several states away from where the dealer is and have not yet seen it in person. It is the first strike yellow interior that most have seen and the reviews have been quite positive!

Ceramic is going on this week and when we take delivery I'll post more photos and a video of the unwrapped interior.

I hope you’ve received your car. We would love to see a full set of interior pictures on this Sky Cool Gray/Accelerate Yellow thread.

Default This is it! My Sky Cool Gray-Strike Yellow Interior LIVE!

I took delivery of my Accelerate Yellow 2021 C8 on April 9. I chose the 3LT Sky Cool Gray/Strike Yellow Interior despite a constraint that forced me to pass on my December allocation. I'm so glad I waited.
The gray dash reflection is not an issue. All dash boards cast a reflection on the windshield. Even all black dashboards cast a reflection. I can see the reflection of speakers and vents when I drive my Honda Odyssey with black upper dash board. If you look for it, you will find it.... in any car. Most of us are too busy driving to notice it. Most noticeable are bits of highly contrasting colors that are next to each other. That is, if you look for it.
Regarding the Sky Cool Gray inserts of the seats and the illusion of looking dirty: This is not present at all when "live" viewing a real C8 with GT2 seats. If it looks soiled, the problem is camera focus and it happens with all medium to light colored GT2 seat inserts. And it's in pictures where the seat inserts are out of focus. Conclusion is that all GT2 seats are not particularly photogenic.
At the moment, Accelerate Yellow is not a popular exterior and Sky Cool Gray-Strike Yellow is not on everyone's radar for interiors. I am enjoying the uniqueness of my build. Perhaps displaying this combination on the Forum is a bad idea. It will likely encourage others to spec it for their orders. Maybe I should delete this post.

At first, looking thru all the plastic seat covering I couldn't imagine what it might look like, or how good it might be. Thanks to the vid and all the other pics, even on cloudy days, it is striking. And a striking color combo and custom-pieced. It's hard to believe this is a stock offering in a production car and not a custom interior job done in the aftermarket.

I doubt if this is completely accurate, but way back in the C6 era, they started a line of interiors called 4LT and from what I saw it was the first of anything with "different" interiors as direct orders from the factory. The strike yellow and cool gray has certainly evolved the interior color combinations, and in a good way!

- You might be right!

Your car looks awesome!!!! Congratulations!

I wish I had courage to order such color combination, but I chickened out

Amazing color combo!

And it’s too late for you to delete the post. I already ordered this exact color combo... back in December. My allocation should (I pray) come up in May.

Ignore the idiots with their smug remarks. This is a beautiful color combo/build!

My build is very similar to yours, except I got the competition seats.

When your C8 order arrives, please post some interior pics on this thread. I'd love to see the SCG/Strike Yellow with the Competition Seats with Sueded seat inserts. There has never been a post of your interior with actual pictures.

My Rapid Blue Z51 3LT with CSG/SY arrived at the dealership today. I’m more than happy with my choice.

This is the exact color combination that I have on order, Rapid Blue, Grey/Yellow interior, with yellow stripe and yellow calipers, HTC. Would you mind posting a picture of the entire car at different angles?

Thank you

Hard to see the yellow calipers from these pics, but they’re there

Just these two, I’m still waiting for a few aero bits to be put on, and the final dealer prep. These pics were all taken as the plastic was taken off.
