Thanks for posting these. This is a good comparison to my C7. I have LBR with Kalahari.

LBR is SO good looking on the C7, I need to see a base (no dumbass spoiler) C8 in LBR with any of the silver wheels. I don't think black wheels do LBR any favors, even on a C7.

Agreed. Silver or Chrome wheels look Much better on LBR IMO. I have chrome wheels on my LBR C7.

My wife says it looks to be a victim of a demolition derby.

She’s correct. It’s awful. Most say it is. I still want it but man it’s hideous.

I'll be honest, when I saw the car on Sunday there was hardly any orange peel, here was the best picture I could try to get:

Awesome pics, thank you for getting them :) was curious if that natural interior looked as yellow in person as it does in the picture. To me kalahari looks like gulden’s Mustard in person and natural looks like french’s Mustard in the pics :)

The carbon roof wasn’t exactly how I imagine it would be. Maybe I stick with same body color or glass roof

Take a look at the last picture above my post, to the right of the license plate. I realize this car is more than likely a "test mule" but....you would think GM could do better on the cars they are debuting to the public. That IS orange peel in it's finest presentation.

Is that a Z51 spoiler or is it standard?

I think I prefer Crystal Red Metallic or the old C5 Magnetic Red. This looks very brown.
