That's awesome and the exact combo I'm getting hopefully next month. Can't see the inside of yours but mine's coming with the Adrenaline interior (1LT), same exterior set up except for the spoiler. I like the upgraded option, should have upgraded to that as well. BTW, what percentage tint is that on the side windows? what did that cost?

Wow, that is gorgeous.
My Vettes have been black, but for the C7, I was sold on the red with black accents... until I found this thread. Black is THE color for this car, IMO. It showns all the curves and the intricate surfacing detail (beautiful) and even the rear of the car (which I have long hated) actually looks great in black - you can see all the surface details without the annoying black tail lamp surround popping out at you and the ugly black bottom / colored top goes away. Back in black for me, with that awesome looking red highlight interior.

Just received last Wednesday. Hard to take pictures - too busy driving. But here's 2.

Although there are many great photos and beautiful Stingrays in this thread (black works so well with this model), yours is my favorite so far. The lines and demeanor of this car is already so rich, the simplicity of the silver wheels offers nice contrast. (in my humble opinion)

Yes, black does look good....BUT no detail in the vents!
What about highlighting the edge of the louvers on those vents so they show up just a little. Without, such an important detail is missing big time.

I plan on raising the front and putting on 22 inch spinners. Also LEDs all the way around.
Ok I'm kidding. Actually I'm waiting to see what WeaponX comes out with next week. I'm either going to get their splitter, skirts, and spoiler or get it from ACS. I'm thinking about getting these along with the stock lower bumper wrapped in carbon fiber DINOC vinyl.
Also I would love if Billy Boat had those squarish black exhaust tips available.

All these C7's and especially the black ones would look so much better if you covered up that silver bar in the front grille. Iam glad I did. I used the Jeff Nowicki black carbon flash piece and love the new look of it. Much more macho looking now.

I agree I need to blackout the grill.
I went to my detailer today to get paint decontamination and coated with Reload. My car was coated with Cquartz Finest about 5 months ago.
Looks amazing. Thanks to Windows and Wheels detailing. Highly recommended if you are in the Phoenix area.

Could the "plastic" vents be painted? Maybe a dark gray so it is just a little lighter than the black and then the vents will show up. All black does not show this important detail.
Anyone highlight the vents with a different color?
Yes, they can be painted....wrong color car however:
