Just Another Orange ZR1

Since some peeps have been asking, Vin #1188 has finally made it home. I just got her today at 1:30pm but she’s set on kill son. For all the haters I can already notice a lot of differences between my Z07 & ZR1. For the Guys that are still waiting, believe me it’s worth it.

Congratulations. I don't think the so called haters really hate, I believe they just feel a little left out.

Very happy for you! I have been waiting since I ordered in January, still aspiring to be "dead-last" off the assembly line for a '19 ZR1!

Shucks! You'll get them up here eventually. Congrat's. I was tempted to get that color myself. Had one available at MacMulkin. Awesome color.

Same here, it's on my short list to do, but the guys in the shop hate the idea. I did blue tow hooks to see how I liked it and I love it personally. Plus, the blue is traditional of the C6 ZR1 calipers. The Sebring Orange Design package has all the trim and I got it for the interior accents; however, I think GM did a bad job with the caliper color and stripe color since they're WAY more brown than orange and don't match the paint. Heck it took me one try matching Prismatic powder coat to the paint when I did my valve covers, and it knocked it out of the park!
