C8 Interior color selection
I just ordered a new C8 with a red interior. I have noticed some cars come with red seats and red Consol. It looks as though mine is coming with black seats in a red consul. Is there an option to illuminate the red consul and have it installed as black?

Mine is being built this week. Fingers crossed. I went red dipped, everything red,interior. To me red is a loud interior. So I went real loud. Silver flare, body colored accents, HTC Z51. Kinda like my first. 64 coupe I had in high school. Good luck.

I think interior colors have become subject to the German influence. Bark somber colors....black. Red becomes a dark maroon for Europeans. I'm glad to see that Adrenaline Red does have a relatively bright red appearance. Look at the interiors of the late 60's and early 70's. Light bright metallic blue for my 68. Brilliant red for the 70. Some black surfaces, but a lot of chrome accents. I don't know what people today think about the interiors of the 60's and early 7-s, but they had a lot of chrome accents. I subscribe to Hemmings Muscle Car and Classical Car magazines, so I get reminders of how things looked in the automobile hayday when American styling predominated automobile design.

thanks I got my allocation 7/28 and learned it would be a 24. The silver trident wheels were not a 24 option. I ordered stock then found some 23 300 mile take offs close for 1500. Wheels,tires,sensors.. every time I walk in the garage they remind me it won’t be long. Yours looks great.

To eliminate a red console:
1LT with red interior has GT1 solid red seats and everything else blacK.
2LT I don't find any black console with red seat option
3LT with "Custom Interior Combination Jet Black interior with Adrenaline Red seats, Napa leather seating surfaces with perforated inserts" (or microfiber), includes GT2 2-tone red/black seats and everything else black.
3LT, GT2 seats, "Custom Interior Combination Jet Black interior with Adrenaline Red seats, Napa leather seating surfaces with perforated inserts"

You want option HXO black/red. That is what it says on my order form along with the two tone seats. I have the black interior and only the bolsters are red not the center console. I also ordered the red stitching. Sam.
