I ordered LB with grey interior. Glad I did, looks great. It appears most LB's are ordered with black or grey interior. I think the 1LT LB with red interior also looks good. I would probably not to go with the 2LT or 3LT red interiors, a little too much red.

I too was going to go with the LB/red combo but due to WAF ( wife acceptance factor ) I went with gray. Have got many compliments on how classy it looks!

I would not have Blue with any color but red. Here is mine.

There is a good reason why GM already deemed it a combo that requires a color override.
Your right GM charges us more because they know they will be more valuable due to being rare. This is my 3rd Blue with Red Vette and never had any issue or received less money when selling.

I like it, but I wouldn't order it for myself.

LB with Red guts looks very good.

Red, Light Grey, and Black, are the best looking colors inside LB.

The brighter colors go very well with the C7's new exotic body style.

It's not a color combo many people choose as a first choice and GM knows it...and we all know car manufacturers will jump at any chance they can get to make more money. The concept of "color override" is BS in the first place.

I'm retracting the resale comment. After seeing more pics this color combo looks sharp. The C7 pulls it off.

Come to think of it there really isn't any C7 that should have a resale issue.

I sell used Corvettes and love when people on here say it will be hard to sell or you will have to take less. I have sold several blue/red & yellow /red cars over the years and never had a problem selling them. I also got more money for them because of what they are.

Talk to people who own these cars and they will tell you how many people like them when they see them in person.

Now I have to work on the wife to get her behind the idea of buying the C7 regardless of color.

My L B Coupe his the black interior with the red calipers. I thought about the red interior but was worried it was to much punch. I have the red calipers and it sets mine off great. I have seen several with the red interior and have to say they look great as well. Go with your heart and you can't go wrong!

Although I do not like it, I must admit it does have a look.

I tried to buy that combination before landing on my AW with red interior. I think it's an awesome combo (especially with the grand sport theme)

Seems really logical to me--can't see why there is a charge. My favorite for blue is Kalahari, but I know it's not as sporty as red.

AWFUL combination. I know, I know, everything is loved by someone! But, you did ask.

Not my cup of tea but it is very unique. Have you thought of Spice Red?
