Default Arctic white convertible

My order is placed (waiting list) for a Z51 vert. Debate still goes on at home between me and the wife...Arctic white or Cyber gray....I would like to sway her to the AW side but I need pictures. Has a AW vert been seen yet? If so anybody with pictures... Battle rages on...

They are not out for a while. The only one I've seen is CG with Kalahari top. Maybe someone could do a photo shop for you.

Cyber gray is easy Kalahari top and interior with chrome wheels. For Arctic white could be red interior with black top and black wheels OR Kalahari top and interior with chrome wheels.

But that's debate #2 and we'll cross that bridge when we get there. Right now paint is where we beg to differ. I have seen many convertibles but none in white so far, wonder why?

Nope. No "blues" in the C7 interior...

I'll post if I come across any photos. If I was ordering a convertible, I would go with white. While you can never go wrong with white over red, the white over Kalahari sounds nice also.

My favorite, by far, of the interior color choices is Brownstone in leather and suede.

White over red with a black top. Classic.

I looked at that too but that means jumping to 3lt. The buck stops at 2LT for me. Thanks for your response. Much appreciated. So definitely no white C7 verts out there yet...bummer...maybe they will have one in Carlisle in August...

FYI, and you may have already looked at this, of the first 100 Stringrays ordered by CF members in Arctic White, the interior color choices are:

1 - Gray
1- Brownstone
2 - Kalahari
4- Black
8 - Red

And of the first 100 Stingrays ordered by CF Members in gray, an overwhelming 12 out of 16 went for Kalahari interiors.

check google "images" periodically. You can find pretty much anything.

I'm still trying to get used to the notion of grey and tan (Kalahari).

Well make sure you actually see cyber grey in person before making up your mind. There is a lot of blue in it.

I think an Arctic White Z51 convertible with black top, red interior, painted wheels, body-colored mirrors and rear spoiler would be absolutely beautiful.
