Default Solid color Z06

Can I get my new Z06 in solid torch red? I have not seen any posts about getting the boomerangs, rear vents, and front trim in body color like the C8.

At least the wishbones are body colored on these 2 from the picture thread.

yes. There's an option to do body color accents.

Hopefully the wishbone is easily unbolted like the stingray and an auto body shop can remove paint and reinstall for not a lot of money.

i think that would be a nice modification down the road if you get the urge. Im not sure if its easy or hard to remove yet Im sure someone on here will eventually do the mod and inform us.

doesnt seem like a lot of labor if its anything like the stingray

dont hold me to it though. I dont really love the body colored rear blacked out grills on the rear bumper on the stingray so I didnt go that route from the factory.

While the body colored side looks visually good to my old eyes, the body colored grilles in the front make it look unfinished.

The body colored grille in yellow looks like a cheap hot wheels toy.

Agreed… it looks horrible IMO. The wishbone looks good either way to me, but the front, especially on lighter colors… not so much when body colored. I also prefer the rear vents in carbon flash.
