Default Rapid Blue Roll Call

My order is coming up this week and I'm still torn on going with Rapid Blue HTC or going back to another Torch Red (3rd one). Flood me with your Rapid Blue pics since I haven't seen one in real life. The red is the safe bet that obviously looks great since I've ordered two of them, but something about Rapid keeps pulling me in. I'm in love with the Collector Edition interior of the C7 which I feel Rapid looks close to (yes/no?).

Bonus points & a steak dinner if someone has one within 2 hours of Fort Wayne, IN that I can see in person.

I saw one at the Chicago Auto Show, my son and I both loved it but my wife put the kabash on it for us. I haven't seen one in the wild yet but man, that one in Chicago was fantastic as is the one posted above. Certainly a color that stands out in the crowd.

I ordered mine and for months wasn't sure it was the right decision... when I walked into the showroom and saw this I was very happy with my decision!

Both are gorgeous! It's hard to make a decision without seeing one in person since the color looks so different based on lighting, would you say those pics are accurate to real life? It is definitely a color that stands out.

I'm going to see if a local body shop can whip up some touch up paint for me this afternoon.
