I love the Gray. I think it goes with the Blue exterior colors best. I would choose Gray if I weren't so OCD and a clean freak!

As the owner of a C6 in LeMans Blue with the Steel Gray interior, I definitely am a fan of grey interiors! When I get a C7 in a few years it will be Laguna Blue with the gray interior, that is my favorite color combo.

Thank you everybody for the pics here...based on the information provided by the dealer, the gray looked more "charcoal" to me, which I liked with the CRT body. When I saw how light the gray actually is, I called the dealer and had it changed to Jet Black. Just my preference, but the gray seems to light, even though I think it would look super with the CRT. Without the pics, I think I would have been very disappointed...

I love my Grey interior, but don't waste money on the LPO Premium mats with your Grey interior! The first time you gas up the car your grey mats who've oil stains on them. You can get Black mats from several vendors that are same as premium mats. The Black floor mats will look a lot better than dirty Gray mats!

I'm still trying to get Black replacements for the LPO premium mats ordered with my car. I've not gotten the Grey or Black LPO mats a month after picking up my car.

I'm about to order Black Stingray mats elsewhere.

The premium mats are light gray too? What's the point? I thought they were black with gray border. I'd look for black too.

Time for an update.

Well the dealer contacted me as this LB/3LT Gray was delivered to them the end of October. Went in to see it and I was wrong. The Gray 3LT is perfect with LB. Did some horse trading reaching a mutual agreement and took delivery Saturday, 11/02.

Today it has a little over 300 trouble free miles on it. i still need to improve my electronics use proficiencies.

I'm researching buying Black floor mats, probably Lloyd's or WeatherTech if they become available very soon. The gray mats won't last long, too light in color IMO.

I purchased a black set of floor mats for my gray interior. I agree the gray mats get dirty way to fast. I keep the gray mats in the trunk and pull them out when at car shows.

My Cyber Grey 3LT. I like it a lot. I saw a CG with all black interior before I bought this and did not like it. The new interior needs the 2 tone to really pop IMO. (I have seen several other 2 tones that also look great)

does the 2LT not have the gray panel that's directly in front of the passenger?

Way too light for me. A dark gray might look good though.

I love it... if I were to order one today it'd be Laguna Blue with Lt Grey and yellow calipers.

Thanks for the pictures. That answered my questions. I plan on ordering a 15 Crystal red as soon as I can. I was going to order the Kalahari interior, but am not crazy about the shade of that color. I think I will get the grey interior.

Z51, AW coupe 2LT with grey interior. Also added a nice set of Lloyd black mats with cross flags and Stingray below them. Matching rear cargo mat. Makes the floor easier to keep clean. Stock grey mats will be used for some events.

The pictures in this thread look about the same (lightness-wise) as my '05 Cashmere interior does (or did--it needs a good steam-cleaning, again). I put Lloyd's Ebony-colored floor mats in, and it was one of the best things I ever did. Almost 200,000 miles, and it still looks pretty darn good, if I do say so, myself! Those things have saved me endless frustration, to say nothing of how any passengers would react when I would have said "Take these surgical booties, and then get in the car."
