Just one question about this statement...i originally had black interior until i discovered that the grey was 2toned...Did you not like the 2toned grey compared to all black? What didnt you like about it besides the grey being so light?

Heh, actually I'm a software engineer, if you can imagine that! But thank you, I'm glad you liked it.

The fact that it was lighter is what I did like about it. The only reason I am not getting it is because I think my red car with black stripes would be a bit too much with a grey/black interior. Especially since I'm hoping I can get matching red door panels as accessories in the future. Other than that, I really did like the two tone look. On a silver or black car it would look really sharp.

Though, one thing I did notice is that the "SS" stitching is much less visible on the grey, if that matters to you.

VR looks great in person. My Silverado is also VR, and I really like it. I thought about going black or yellow, but in the end I stuck to my guns, because I love the red/black combo.

Incredible story! I wish I was there :( so close... haha

tbss1 · 03-12-2009, 09:12 PM

Thanks, can't wait to get this car, when graduated high school I had a 67 Camaro painted red with blacl strips, wish I still had it.

Amelia98 · 03-12-2009, 09:15 PM

Awesome description. I felt like I was there, but I didn't get a chance to check out the sunroof. What did I think? =)
