@jjking Looks great. Consistent grey & black. Windows look dark. Did you tint them? If so which shade level? Thanks.

@Magneticone mine is HTC as well. My roof and A-pillars are wrapped in 3M metallic black while I left the nacelles as body color, basically opposite of the “B-scheme” carbon flash option.

Was out for a nice drive today and thought I would share some pics of the amazing fall colors up here in Ontario. It is beautiful but unfortunately winter will set in here soon enough. Lovin HGM more everyday!

Question for all the experts out here… I am finalizing my build to send to MM and would like to have a HGM coupe with black interior and red deviated stitching… is that option possible? I am quite confused by the various interior options. Thanks!!

If Chevy's Build & Price site lets you configure it that way, then it should be possible. And yes it is possible if you option the 3LT black interior with red stitching. I don't believe that's available on 1LT or 2LT.

found out… needs 3LT configuration and then can do the red stitching in options. Many thx!

one more question… if you get black wheels as an option, will they come with black lug nuts, or will you have to buy those separately? Thx!

Pretty sure you get the standard silver/chrome lug nuts unless you option the black ones which are also on the Build & Price site. You can confirm all this by selecting black wheels and seeing which lug nuts appear on your visually rendered build.

Configurator shows black but have seen others mention they were chrome which is crazy. Hopefully I am wrong.

you are correct… configurator show they are black, but if they would come with black lug nuts, then why have the additional black lug nuts as an option?

The black wheels come with silver lug nuts. You have to order the black lug nuts ($225) separately if you want them to match the wheels. I work at a Chevy dealership so I've seen it first hand.

Well without the Z51 package you’ll be waiting awhile to get an allocation. I’m at 469 and was told my build would go in this month! That must mean they have at least 300 non Z51 cars waiting to get ordered. The most they can order in anyone month is 40% of their monthly allocation. Which would probably be less than 50 cars! At this rate they might already have a 6 month back order of non Z51 cars to order!

you are absolutely spot on and I am fine if I have to wait a bit as I rather get the car next spring (after the CO winter)

Nothing here I see that "needs" changing. It's a very nice build.
