Yes. No chrome on this bad boy except the stupid keyless entry button. Which should be body color or black

Is that button actually chrome?

Only brightwork I see are the surrounds of the bowties and SS emblems, and the exhaust tips. Plus the lug nuts and air valve caps...not too much at all, just how I like it.

I wonder if the diffuser can be swapped out or if the entire bumper has to be replaced

More than likely it is two separate pieces

Matching up the lower body areas with the wheel finish, I guess.
Well ... The irony for me is I'll probabably order a Nightfall Grey SS 1LE , rip the hood wrap off, and wrap the splitter and diffuser in gloss black... Reversing the show cars scheme...

$75 wrap job will also protect the bottom front and back from chips...

I'm seeing NFG as the best color on the 1LE, even if it remains spec because of the minor contrasts between the gray, satin black and satin graphite. I have run the ideas of wrap and possibly powder coating the wheels around in my mind to kill time.

With a late Fall production schedule, I have about a year to wait before it makes sense to get one in Ohio, so there's plenty of time to decide.

I would love to know some color choices. I want some contrast to the hood, rims and trim. Something to really make it pop. Ultimately I would love an army olive green but that will never happen. Maybe a red, silver or grey.

White and black are out. I have those on my other vehicles and they are a pain to keep clean. And I'm not a fan of yellow.

FYI, white and black are really no harder to keep clean with a good ceramic coating or such. Just throwing that out there...

I need some new info on the 1LE!!

I'm thinking nightfall gray, remove the hood wrap, gloss black roof wrap, gloss black spoiler and mirrors, and some tint on the lights and reflectors. I'll likely change that combo a hundred times before I actually get my hands on the car, but that's where I am right now.

The satin seems to make lighting a big factor in the appearance of all of those items. Black can look gray, gray can look black, etc. The wheels look lighter than I would prefer but who knows.

Can't wait to see it in natural light. I'm guessing it will be stunning, and my concerns about the two different satin colors will be forgotten.
