Stealth interior

I thought that the stealth interior package would be darker like it shows in the visualizer but it looks a bit grayish. But I will still get it for my C8.

Wow. The visualizer makes it look way better. Hoping there is some pre-production issue or something causing the pictures to not do it justice. If it really is just a gray, that's a huge missed opportunity. A deep black metallic, kind of like they use on high-end AV receivers, would look amazing on those parts.

Looks good, however my concern is the black will show scratches from fingernails, jewelry etc much worst then the current bright color finish in these 'high-traffic' hand/touch areas.

2023 C8 of the Year Finalist - Modified

I was hoping it would closer match the CF pieces…. Anyone know what all pieces it includes? Trim around drive switches and the waterfall speaker?

Wish it looked like the visualizer. I’m considering a dipped interior and I think the black grills look much better with those interiors vs the lighter gunmetal color in real life.

I hope it’s more black than grey though I’m getting it either way.

I'm getting it on a Natural Dipped interior, but I would not get it with a black interior. I saw it on the Z06 dealer tour car, and to me it just does not look good on black.

The speaker grills are grayish, but the dash trim is black chrome.

Well, it's hard to say how "black" the stealth trim will be. The lighting in the Visualizer, as well as the above pics, can play tricks on the pictures we see. For example: The "black" leather in the pics of the yellow car (above) appears Gray. My guess is that the Stealth/black trim will also vary in darkness, depending on lighting. As far as scratches: Assuming the trim is black anodized aluminum, it should be fairly resistant to normal touching, including fingernails. But, keys or other hard objects could certainly create scratches. Fortunately, there are many repair kits available for Black aluminum (

). How well they will work or match the original finish is another unknown. With all that said, the Stealth Interior Trim Package (BAZ) will be included on my build.

I already have mine, but if I were ordering I'd stick to the bright aluminum. I like the contrast, and think it looks classier and more expensive than the black.
