Here is a render we did for a customer who wanted to see how the FORGEDLITE MC5 Brushed Aluminum would look on his HSG C8 20/21

@lion shf thank you! I appreciate that. A local shop did the wrap using 3M 1080 gloss black metallic on the a-pillars, roof and deck. I added the single center pin stripe on the hood decal and the and triple stripes on the deck leading to the vent.

@Magneticone you are correct that mine is different than the factory Stingray R package. Only the hood decal is OEM, I customized the rest.

Note that I left the nacelles body color. GM won't let you have black a-pillars and roof without black nacelles too. So I did the wrap to get it the way I wanted it.

Looks great! Just ordered a very similar config last week, with a few differences: No Stingray R graphics, Z51 (but with the aero delete + adding back the low-profile spoiler), edge red calipers, torch red rear emblem, and GT1 seats. Believe the rest is the same, based on your pics.

Coming from a 2019 2LT convertible in Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic. Looking forward to it!

Thanks, yes I preferred the two-tone look of your seats, but sat in all 3 and the GT1 was most comfortable for me.

That's what is important , what is comfortable for you . I really like the way the GT2 seats cradle you , at least for me , and the two tone seats .

Same here, the GT1 were most comfortable for me. Other's were tight across the upper part of seat (shoulders).
