It looks great. You should start the Official Shark Gray Color thread and ask the mods to put in the sticky.

Saw a CG on the lot and definitely has the blue flake in it.

Your car looks great
From the photos Kerbeck posted the other day, the CG has a bluish-purplish cast while the SG is a lot warmer. Much better match for interiors like Kalahari. Might even look good in Brownstone. Not sure how Adrenaline Red would look; that seems to match better with the cooler exterior colors.

Yvonne drove at first, with me following in her SRX. About halfway home, we stopped by my brothers... switched drivers; and I drove the rest of the way. Really pleased with the car, fit & finish.

Only had time to snap a few cell pics; at my brothers home with the setting sun:





This Shark Gray has a lot of different personalities... depending on the lighting. We absolutely loved it inside the dealerships showroom; and then once driven outside in the sunlight; fell in love with it all over again !

I haven't seen one bad color on any C7; it wears them all exceptionally well.
Congrats My SG Brother...

when we stopped at my brothers - to swap vehicles - she wasn't all too eager to hand over the Vette to me.

Now that's what I call a GREAT color combination!! Definitely one-of-a-kind, so far! Only thing I would have changed was to add the full racing stripe instead of the hood striping only. I'm jealous!!!!!!!!!!!

It is darker than pewter... especially when not in direct sunlight
