I've been waiting for this as well. Looks like we are getting close, but no deliveries just yet. Update: Apparently one of Rick Hendricks dealerships did get one in...

That silver is gorgeous. I think I would prefer it without the black accent panels however.

Default Like the black panels

Adds contrast and meaner look. Also added black mirrors and black spoiler with black wheels! Gives it that “Oakland” Raiders tough look! Don’t mess with this car...LOL

My specs, but probably will be getting a 2021 because of not getting call to order yet. Might work out well with possible changes and or ordering options and realize a good chance of price increase. Had a blade silver C7 and really shows well.

that looks really good. Silver, imo, benefits from having black wheels the most


congrats again to all of the early and soon to be owners

Default Partial but Wow

I am clearly partial since that is my selected interior and exterior combo and wheels, ex the CF kit but I have black mirrors and spoiler.

Clearly one of the top color combos for this car all around...IMO

I feel just the opposite. I think black wheels ruin a silver car personally. The Spectra Gray Trident wheels look so much better.
