Crazy last minute change
Have had my heart set on an Arctic White /grey interior 1LT with stock wheels since deciding to buy a 2015 C7.
Playing on the computer while displaying images on our 60 inch TV, my wife and I decided to build one and swap some color choices just to make sure AW was what we wanted before we pull the trigger next week.
After about 10 minutes we decided to go with a Shark Gray Metallic /w lighter gray interior and the black machined faced wheels.
While the Arctic White looked great, the Shark Gray w/ the slightly darker machined faced wheels looked more subtle and elegant to us.
The contrast between the black body vents weren't so pronounced on the Shark Gray compared to the Arctic White color.
Adding the black machined faced wheel option also seemed to match the body color better then the stock silver painted set adding just enough silver on the spokes to give the car a finished look but dark enough to match the car body color.
I'd have never guessed I'd be changing the car color at the last minute.

Nice combo....very unique. I have not seen anyone do that yet.
Design is very sporty but classy too. People are gonna copy your outside choices but change up interiors. That outside combo will work well with all interior colors.
I bought a artic white 14 but in I would definitely have gone shark grey if it was offered with those wheels if they were offered. I only ordered Z51 because of the base wheels were so boring in silver and I didn't want chrome. The new machine face/painted finish wheel option is awesome. Great build.
You going 1LT, 2 or 3?

The more I see of shark grey, the more I like it. I think it will be at least as popular as cyber grey.

After three months waiting for an allocation on my Night Race Blue Z51 Coupe with 3LT Kalahari interior, I changed my mind. Looking at the cars more it occurred to me that the lighter brighter colors show off the car's line better than the darker colors.
I went full pimp and changed the order to Torch Red with Jet Black 3LT interior.
Very happy I made the changes.

Up until your order hits status code 3000. Changing your order will void any price protection you may have had. Also, if you change your order to include something that is on constraint, your order may go back to 1100 - waiting for an allocation that includes the constrained item(s).

Shark gray, Blade silver and white are all the best colors. Last C6 was Blade silver with black interior. So this time I went with a 1LT, Shark gray, Gray interior, A8, ZF1, NPP. TPW 09-15-14. Went with the Shark Gray because it seems to be not as dark as the Cyber gray was and that it is a NEW color for the 15's. Would of gone with the Blade silver or white if the they did not have the New Shark gray this year.
