Great! Looking forward to your pics. I have the same LBR Z51! Mine went 3800 yesterday, built Tuesday. Can't wait to see what it really looks like versus these GM Configure Pics I have looked at for a year on my computer screens!

Well I guess you are in the same boat as me with GM not allowing dealers to release C8's until there is a software and key fix for the car.

JerryU,
Thank you.Now I don’t have to post pictures. Your’s appears to be the same as mine. Same wheels, interior (2LT, 2 tone seats?), and exterior color. You have refined taste. You will find that the LBR is somewhat deeper in reality when compared to pictures.

Enjoy and save the wave,
Ed

He's only capable of 1.5 posts per year.

He's done 2 this year so he probably won't post pics till 2021.

I went with the 3LT and Natural Dipped. Had a 3LT 2014 Z51 then in 2016 GM got cheap and made it look like a patchwork quilt, reducing the amount of Tan color. Got a 2LT 2017 Grand Sort, all I really needed for the C8 but since GM went back to full color I decided to go for it. However natural color floor mats would not work for a DD! I bought the GM weather mats that go up on the sides. Should work!

Hi 90sundevil,

This does not appear to be the case with mine (built 8/12/20). My dealer has released the car to me and when I questioned them about it they said GM would not have released the car from the factory with any outstanding recalls. So, we will see.

Visited my Courtesy Delivery Service Manager and Corvette Tech who will do my PDI. Service Manager said he read a bulletin about not releasing unless the undated was done. The thought over the past weekend. I'm a few weeks from it being delivered. Will see, hopefully the software was completed in my C8 this past Tuesday when it reached 3800 or it's ready for their install..
