Why not get a '94? Sounds like the look you're after.

I have seen a LB and SG Z with the body colored. Might of been constrained, but some percentage went through.

All the pictures in this thread look horrible to honest. I'll stay with the carbon flash for accent. Body color? No thanks

I had a choice of two Z06/07's when I purchased mine. One had the Shark Gray vents with Arctic White paint. I thought it looked stupid and I couldn't reason why someone would pay an extra $995 for it. I ended up choosing another Arctic White Z06/07 with the black vents and Adrenaline Red interior. It looks sharp!

I have always liked the contrast. I like TR and Carbon Flash, or DSOM and Carbon Flash. It cheapens the look if its all one color... that's just my view....

Black is the highest selling color for the Z06.
But yet it will have "black" vents (carbon flash) in most all cases.

Don't see a lot of complaints about the black monocolor!

To me it looks like a cheap paint job, where they failed to mask certain parts and put down a second color - MAACO special, if you know what I mean.

On a black car it would be OK, I guess.

I like the black vents and am not a fan of changing them to the rest of the body's color. To each their own and obviously some people enjoy that look. I like things to really pop and have greater contrast. The black on black works though.

Hey BOBSZ06, I think you just ruined it for me!

Had my heart set on the Long Beach Red (which is on constraint), but that photo of your car is about to change my mind on the color, plus I don't have to worry about the constraint!

I'm in Northern California, too, by the way.

I'm not a fan of the body colored vents. But everyone should order what they like and not worry about what others like.

Thats why they them "OPTIONS". Could you imagine going to a car show or track event and only seeing one color? If your buying a car, get it the way you want and don't worry what others think
