Default Spiral Gray

Have been looking at a black coupe for several weeks and really like it. Stumbled across a nice 04 coupe with the same options but in Gray. The pics are on a dealer site so they are small. Anyone willing to post pics of their Gray Vette? I would hate to get Black and then wish I bought Gray.

People always ask if it's a custom color ... only about 2100 sold in 2003 and 2200 in 2004. I love mine ... can you tell?

BAHHHH - looks like duct tape compared to BLACK!

Actually, it's a great color, especially under bright sunlight!

Spiral Gray never photographs well. I've seen almost no pics that actually capture it's true brilliance.

When you see it in direct sunlight, you'll go WOW It literally sparkles in the sun.

One of my favorite C5 colors for sure.

Black is a great color to look at but I would not want to take care of it.
you'll be able to touch your car if you get the gray.

Looks great and won't show every little thing like black does.

When searching for a 2004 vert, I had spiral grey on the brain. Black also. The grey is a metallic paint, black isn't. However, black is beautiful. Almost bought a grey one, but one nagging thought persisted: it's a somewhat conservative color. So what'd I do, you ask? Bought a mag red with tan insides and tan roof! Truly the most brilliant color combo.
PS: I'm just writing these lines to confuse your choice even more! Good luck, and you can be assured of one thing: whatever the color, you'll love your Corvette!
