If you see or take any LBR pics (real pics not "visualizer"), here is a thread to post them.

Blue has always been my favorite on cars, but that LBR is just great looking!

Also, anyone else notice that picture in the middle it has a bright blue seatbelt?? Interesting choice.

Didn't know the C8 had a "Harley" exhaust mode :D

IMO, LBR doesn't really work with the C8.
The C7 on the other hand....

I think lbr would look a lot better without black rims

daveven 07-27-2019 07:52 AM

Agree, Chrome rims with LBR

Yes, I'm having an internal battle on this one. I am 1st in line for a convertible at my dealer so I have time (to choose color)....
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.

^^^^^

I think the lack of contrast between the tail light lenses and LBR kills the look of the back end(for me).

I agree. I have a LBR C7 and think its beautiful but from the photos I've seen so far it just does not click with me. I think the C8 needs more European tints like the new yellow rather then a more conservative palate of colors from past years.

Have to agree, not feeling it on the c8 from those pics. Love it on the c7 though.
would like to see with the tan interior.

I don’t know, I’m picturing this with the spectra gray machined trident wheels... 😍

Is that a 3lt interior? I'm trying to figure out if the dash, tunnel and doorcards on the 2lt are the same stitched leather as in those photos.

When I bought my mine, I thought black wheels would be the way to go...until I saw one at the dealer with silver wheels and realized black would never work for me.
