Default Help Please! Ordering from Rick

The car I ordered is a Stingray convertible. I can't decide on Gray or White! Car will have a black top and red guts no matter of color and black wheels and black fish. I know it's my choice and all but I would like some feedback. Thanks

Between white and grey, I like white better mainly because I like the contrast between the white and the black (carbon flash) accents. You could split the difference and get silver...

The C7 that I'm thinking of ordering will be white with the adrenaline red interior.Thinking of going GS . I have to say at the last cruise night there was a Shark gray with adrenaline red interior and it looked great ! Not sure if I helped you out or not . Check out the post regarding first GS being delivered to Corvette Museum and take a look at the white with red interior GS it really got me thinking of going GS. Either way you decide you will have a great looking corvette.

My neighbor has a friend with a white Z06. That white just really works with this car, very sharp. The gray ones I've seen are fine, just really subdued. I haven't seen the new Watkins Glen Gray though. Good luck, nice decision to have to make.

Red int and a vert ... I'd get white.

I like the various gray colors on the coupes.

I simply do not understand threads like this. Color is especially subjective. It's not like asking whether 3LT is worth it, which has objective answers. You like a color or you don't. And you know very well that you will get opinions on both sides of whatever parameters you set.

It does not MATTER what anyone else thinks. Buy what YOU like and can live with. You need not ask permission.

It's pretty tough to beat an Arctic White Corvette convertible with red interior and black top. Not only does it look great, it will never go out of style.


As has already been mentioned, though, do consider Blade Silver; it works extremely well with the C7. Another GREAT convertible combo is Sterling Blue with blue top. You could go with black or gray interior and either would rock.

Take a quarter out of your pocket, heads is white, gray is tails, or vice versa. Now flip........

Easy way of picking and if you don't go with the results, you already knew what color you wanted.

I really like both colors, and would by happy to own either color. I chose AW when I ordered my '14.

The colors are at the opposite ends of the spectrum. I think AW looks bright, fresh, and classy. The black accents with the AW look great in my opinion.

I think gray looks a little sinister and reserved. GM does a nice job selecting their grays. Shark Gray is my favorite gray.

It all depends on the look you are going for. But either way I bet you will be pleased with your selection.

Good luck with your decision.

I agree 100%. But since you asked both colors scream BUICK to me!!!!! Throw gold into the mix and you got it covered.
