Default This is how to decide what color to get

So I placed my order just after Christmas for a Artic white coupe w/black rims z51

So all January I was back and forth between silver and the white. My wife told me to just calm down and to not think about it anymore since white was what I liked right from the start.

I figured I had a while to make up my mind anyways....

So yesterday my salesman calls me and and is like ( your car has been pulled for production!)

So now it's set in stone I'm getting white with the full length carbon flash stripe with black mirrors spoiler it should be in my hands middle/end of March !

Pretty happy with getting it this fast. No carbon parts on my car probably helped speed it along. Now I just need spring to get here in Michigan so I can drive the car home

This is what it should look like

Always go with your gut feeling.

Unless of course you change your mind.

I have a white 1LT Z51 car coming also. I was second guessing my choice too, but the arctic white picture thread kept me from changing. I'm locked in now, so I can quit thinking about it. I did choose to go with the matching white top though.

And as long as it's not shipped by rail, you'll probably see it before Christmas!

It's so funny that you say this, I wrestled too with the color. My son saw that I was going White z51 with AR interior non carbon flash and he said "Oh you should go with Torch red and black, so I second guessed myself and started looking at Red. Then I realized go with your gut and white was my gut feeling. It really helps how many pictures are on this forum to see the different variations.

Good color choice, I think I decided to do the hood stinger stripe although I may just leave it stock for awhile and see what I like best. I really am liking the side sills going on these cars, but I have yet to see a front spoiler I like.

If your car looks like that, you sure made the right decision. It will be beautiful.

I hate to break the news to you but with the way Winter is going so far this year, Spring won't arrive in Michigan until sometime around the third week of June. When Spring finally arrives enjoy your beautiful C7.

Great color choice I agree! As for winter in Michigan or Wisconsin can't come soon enough and your talking Yooper here (U.P.) of the past 52 years. I just happen to reside in WI at this time.
