Default Blue top on white convertible with red interior

Should I go all American with red, white, & blue?

Or maybe Torch red with grey interior and blue top?

IMO, a blue top will look awful on both combos you are considering. White with a blue top needs black or grey leather. Torch Red with a blue top is going to look very weird too. If you really like it though, go for it, it's your car.

I also think it would look terrible, but it's your car and choice. It would certainly be "rare" in any case.

Go for it. Advantages are...It's what you want, you'll most likely have a "one of a kind", and it'll be easily found in a parking lot.

Both combos are terrible and you will have a problem upon resale.

Be careful when ordering tops on the Verts.

I bought a blade silver, with red adrenaline interior 3LT 2015 Z 51.

I really thought a gray top would look good, and I still do. Little did I know and my dealer never said anything, but GM charges an extra $590.00 for a non conforming color. They said it should have been blue or black.

I ended up paying the $590.00, so I probably have one of a very few blade silvers with a gray top.

I was not told about the up charge until my dealer received the invoice from GM. My contract with the dealer showed it as a no charge.

IMO I think the blue top looks good on just one color: Night Race Blue.
So I bought one...

Not to be argumentative but, I believe you paid the $590 color override charge for the "interior" color. The Order Guide shows Blade Silver can be had with a Gray Top only with Gray or Black interior. So, IMO, your top color choice took precedence in the order and GM charged you the customary override charge for the not recommended interior. Or, GM just did what they could to give you the combo you wanted. I haven't seen this situation before so I'm just speculating.

Would love to see some pics of your car.

Go to blade silver thread, page 14 towards the bottom, sitting in my driveway and another at the museum.

I was thinking about this color combo also? I know a dealer who has one of these getting built. I want to see it.
