Default Yellow Calipers

Spending way too much time on the Corvette.com web site trying different color combinations ................. If I change my exterior color to CRT with the Spectra Gray wheels, would the yellow calipers look out of place ? I would still be keeping the Kalahari interior. Thoughts...........

Don't know if your getting a Z07 or not but with CRT I would go black or silver on the calipers.

I was kind of thinking so too. I may just revert to my original car of choice before my Sept. order slot locks in. It's still my wallpaper and screensaver on the home desktop.

When I first focused on the Z06, it was going to be Velocity Yellow, Yellow calipers with a Black interior.....(convertibles only for me) -- anyway, when order time came around, and some soul searching, Laguna Blue became the choice, yellow calipers of course

No, please don't. CRM will look great with either Black or Gray calipers (Z07). Any other color will take away from the color of the body IMO.

I do believe I will stick with Shark Gray. I finally got to see it in the sunlight to day in Houston. Damn it looks great. Has the same blue flake in it that Cyber Gray had. Without question, yellow calipers are the way to go.

I think the yellow calipers will look fine with SG/Kalahari, but will not look good with CRM/any color interior.
Get black or gray calipers with the CRM...

After seeing the Shark Gray, that is what I'm going with. It is a dead ringer for Cyber Gray. Me thinks G M simply changed the name.

This has been a big decision point for me as well. Personally while I like red calipers I think they have been over player by several manufactures. I likely will be going yellow with either shark grey or laguna blue.

I get lots of compliments on my car but the most prominent compliment is about the paint. Everyone seems to love the Shark Gray. And, my yellow calipers really look good against the Shark Gray.

BIG difference in color between Shark Gray and Cyber Gray. It has been talked about and with side by side photo's on the Forum. I researched and saw both in person. I will be ordering, most likely Shark Gray convertible with 2LZ Kalahari, Kalahari top, A8, Chrome Wheels, standard Red Calipers, base aero (stage 1), Nav/PDR.

That all said, I really like the Blade Silver, Kalahari interior & top.
