I did not think the tan interior would look that good on a black car but I was wrong. Looks awesome!

Exterior theme is reminiscent of your Turbo S.

I decided to have my black rear emblem painted Edge Red after they took it off for the Expel PPF. Just back today from the body shop. Will have the letters put on next week and see how it looks. A little contrast to match the Calipers and Z06 emblem on the side. Guess if I don't like them, I'll just pull them back off.

Labor Day + birthday, so I decided to treat myself by taking all three for a drive one after the other ... it was a great day, especially for the two HTCs.

Z06 or 812 for a road trip, which are you taking?
