Default Blade Silver

I just got my 16 Blade Sulver Convertable, All black trim and Black LT3 interior with red calipers and red stitching. I think it's ultra sharp, and fairly rare.

Sounds great. Please post some pics, especially of the interior. I am the original owner of a 2004 Medium Spiral Gray convertible that I have modified and personalized over the years. I love the color and have received many compliments (and car sow trophies) over the years. However, since I plan to pull the trigger on a C7Z stablemate, I want to get away from silver or gray so right now I'm leaning towards Longbeach Red but I want to see the color in person before I make my final choice. I do agree that the Blade Silver looks stunning on the C7 design. The color matches up great with the Carbon Flash trim and vents and IMO, the Adrenalin Red interior looks fantastic with this color. I'm also interested to see how well the new Spice Red and Twilight Blue packages match up with the Blade Silver. I attended a dealer launch last year for the sole purpose of seeing the new Shark Gray exterior as I wanted to compare it to my MSG C5 vert. When I arrived, they also had a Blade Silver Z06 coupe with the Adrenaline Red 3LZ package with silver wheels and red brake calipers. The car was absolutely stunning with the Carbon Flash splitter and side skirts added as well. I know some guys prefer the black wheels, however I thought the stock silver Z06 wheels were a perfect match. I liked it much better than the Shark Gray.

Silver or white (which I have) with the new dark red interior. Someone above said 'silver' because there are so many 'whites.' He raises a good point. In either case, you can't go wrong with either.

If you want to distinguish yourself, you might go with Silver over the Blue interior if you are at all thinking about a Level 3 interior. Almost everyone is doing Red interior. Personally I have a Torch Red over Black with Red Stitching, so I have no skin in this game :-)

You sir have excellent taste.
That is exactly what I just had built except mine is a convertible. Stunning combination.
