I'm ready to place my order for the Z06 but I'm really confused about which color to go with. I currently have a black 14' with adrenaline interior and red calibers. I really love it but in trading up to the Z06 I think the black looses all the beautiful lines and the white is the only other one I would consider. I like to hear your thoughts on the two colors and for resale, which do you think would be easier to sell down the line?

Thanks!

I have a Cyber gray 14 and really like the color, but I am going actic white with red interior for the Z06. The cabon flash vents, spoiler etc really "pop" on the white. I am afraid they would be lost with the black.

Actually that was my next question, whether or not the red interior with red caliber goes with the artic white? If I go with the artic white, I'm thinking black interior and black calibers?

Going with the Black and the Shark Gray vents! Will also highlight the aero edges with Shark Gray. May add a Shark Gray stinger hood stripe.

Nice, I hadn't thought about that? Now that opens up the door again for black! Would you do the carbon fiber ground affects or carbon flash?

BOBSZ06

I will be going with carbon flash and put a Shark Gray edge on them to highlight them. From a distance they will be visible and up close looking down you will see the carbon flash.

How would you put a shark gray edge on them? GM or after market doing? It would really help if chevy would put up a build so that you can get an idea of what that would look like? Have you seen a picture of that configuration anywhere?

Thanks Bob!

The Stingray corvette forum has some pics of the arctic white where you can see the red calipers. Also some pics of the red interior, but they aren't close up.

realwhiz

Yeah I saw those, very limited photos of Artic white and Black. Lots of yellow, red's and blues.

I will let a local body shop mask the edge off and paint it and then clear coat. Probably could do it myself.

I have not...just in my mind.

I changed my Black exterior Z06 order this am. for the very reason you cited. I went however to the new Shark Grey exterior with the Black leather seats after seeing a new Z51 15 with this combo. I like the subtle change from body color to black of the vents and rear of the car. I don't like the stark change of the real vibrant colors with the black rear valence etc.

I am going arctic white with red interior for the Z06. I think Black hides too much of the cars lines and the vents just blend in? But then again the new Z06 looks great in any color.

I'm curious, did you see that in person or online. If somewhere here on the forum would you mind sending me the link or tell me where I can find it?

Thanks!

Thanks but just found a picture from Kerbeck with all 3 greys. I guess they did away with the blade silver, too bad.

They still have Blade Silver. Cyber Grey is the one they dropped in favor of Shark Grey.

I'm going Artic White w/yellow calipers myself with the standard wheels. Interior will be dark grey or blue. Not sure if blue will clash with the yellow calipers...

Foxer55

Here is mine from the GM Preliminary Order page. It will have a blue interior and blue stripes. It sucked to have to get 3LZ just to get a blue interior.

Nice choice, exactly what I am doing. Now, are you doing Black wheels and Red calipers. There is a Shark Gray thread in the general section. Check out the vert on page 3, absolutely stunning...

I SAW THE COLOR (Straw Gray with black interior and red calibers) on a new )15 convertible (Z51) that had just come in to the dealership. After seeing the Combo I made my decision for the change I mentioned. The Straw grey hues change as to the position of the sun and also depending on the sun many times multi hues at the same time that highlight the cars lines. Truthfully I really liked the color.

No I'm sticking with the stock satin silver painted wheel as that wheel that color reminds me of the competition wheels in that color on my Ferrari. I am attempting to limit the eye from picking up too much black. I like for instance the subtle change from the Shark grey rear to the black rear valence.
