Default First of the Jet Stream Blue cars arrive

Got another load of 2008 Coups and Convertibles in today. The first of the new Jet Stream Blue color was in the load. Thought that you might like to check it out. It turned out to be a little darker than the photos that I had seen of it.





What do you think..

Here are a couple of more for ya..

Awesome, but those wheels have to go! Do those come stock on all '08 coupes?

To me the color is OK I like the wheels but probably because I am tired of the ones that have been on the car for the past 3 years. I am going to send out a set and get them chromed and see if you will warm up to them..

Those are the base wheels and come in a silver painted or competition gray painted finish. The 5 spoke wheels in chrome or polished finish are still available at a extra cost.

It's gonna take more than chrome to make those wheels look better.

I'm forecasting the future... Those will be the ugly goose of Corvette wheels.

good looking color, but I honestly think I prefer the darker??? May change my mind if I saw the color in person...diff to tell sometimes with pics. I honestly kind of like the wheels; not my favorite, but I like them. Just my 2 cents.

Yeah doc I'm with you I like the darker blues better myself..Electron Blue is still my favorite with Navy Blue Metallic a close second then Le Mans Blue .. this color is better looking than the photos I had seen before I saw the color in person..

Thanks for posting the picture! The corvette museum has a jestream blue calender wallpaper right now as well:

Corvette Musuem Calendar Wallpaper (link will be outdated after this month)

I like it much better than I thought I would, but I think I still prefer the darker blues. Joshua is also right about those wheels....they need to go!

I was always in love with the Nassau blue and this seems very close. Will it be available for Z06's also?
