AO is much more of a true orange, SO is very red.

AO IMO, is the best looking color on the C8 and makes it look very high end and exotic. I do feel that in person AO is much better than what you see in images here. But, hopefully some of these help. Gtechniq ceramic coated, 20% side window tint

Questions asked about the 3 colors, IMO the Camero- Inferno Orange is definitely more on the red side-in fact when not in sunlight it appears red. The SO has metal in it and to me is darker while the AO to me is lighter. I had a 2021 SO on order but with all the delays it ended up being a 2022 after GM cancelled the SO color as I ended up with AO (to this day I don't understand).

My wife really liked the Sebring orange but haven’t seen amplify in person. Our issue was an interior color that made us happy. She hates the grey and natural dipped and nothing else goes good other than plain black. Maybe if they offered an orange stitching and accent interior option it would’ve made it a better choice for us.

Interested in your "to this day I don't understand" comment. Would you have gone with Sebring Orange if it was still available or do you like the Amplify Orange better? All three of those oranges are definitely very unique colors! GM has always had some interesting "oranges" like DSOM, Hugger Orange, and Atomic Orange.

Damn ... that looks sooooo good!!! What specific marker pen did you use on the stitching and what tape did you use on the steering wheel? You did an awesome job. Looks like it was done at the factory!

Btw, how long did it take you to do the entire interior? Was it difficult to do or just time consuming? Did you get Lloyds floor mats as well?

I used Uchida fabric marker -

, you can find my post https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c8-general-discussion/4390666-dying-my-stitching-orange-5.html#post1604521182 (post 87). Took me almost whole day to complete. It was't difficult, just take time. I colored 5-6 inch section then wiping the excess off the leather with a rag.
As for the tape, I bough this on

Btw, what side skirts did you put on it? Are those the ACS 1VM rockers? Any more close up pics of those especially around the rear wheelwell? Wanted to see how flush they are to the rear wheel opening.
