tomorrow I will post chrome badges

No for me. I think its a combination of lack of contrast and the wheel design itself.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! I wish I had the problem of deciding on witch color of rims. Stuck on status 1100. I am a big fan of white but I feel that the silver rims look better. Enjoy that new ride Savage. Looks sharp!

I like white, but a little to much for me.

Not really feeling the white wheels, but nice ride otherwise.

Nice pics, thanks! I ordered the chrome badges to lessen the contrast with the white....glad I did. And the white script will be zero contrast, of course.

Did you order the chrome script, or was it part of the "chrome exterior badge package"? I ask because the Configurator doesn't show chrome script, and the three colors (white, blue, red) came along in late January, probably too late for you to have changed had you wanted to. Regardless, the chrome looks great with your stripes!

Here's my 2000 C5 and 2013 C6, BTW. I kinda like white Vettes. My 2003 Z was silver because I didn't like the Speedway "off-white" at all. Thanks again for the detail pics.

Look what is behind my house

Behind this old sporting goods store and my house is the old coal waste they are slowly taking it away/ probably 5 of these have been removed in the last 20 years

Yeah, those piles of coal waste are quite common in south western PA where I used to live, some are enormous like 1/2 mile long and 200 ft high.

I ordered my C8 with the body color vents and trim, is that what this car has or did you paint the vents and rear vents?

Vents are body-colored from the factory.

There's another thread about removing the fascia, removing vents, painting them whatever color you might want.
