Tan is on now but it will be switched out for a black one... you can see a glimpse of the old red color thrugh the antena hole. oh and if anyone is selling their oem chrome rims or nice aftermarket ones hit me up cus i need some wheels fast.

from what i understand from the man who helped in the color selection this is a very rare color from GM... well either that or it's custom, the first idea was to have black with red peralcent but wehen we did a few demo's of that color we did not feel satisfied with it so dark cherry it was
