Default C5 Coupe Pics Wanted

Hello guys and gals. I am a new member here. After 7 years of being involved in the Mustang Scene, hence the name, I am seriously thinking about purchasing a C5 Coupe. I have wanted one for a couple years now, but due to being younger (I turn 25 in april) I wanted to wait for my insurance drop, even though I have a perfect, ticket free, driving record. Anyway, I will be purchasing a C5 Coupe, but kinda up in the air on what color I will begin to look for. Forsure something with Black interior. Anyway, to the topic of the post. Could all of you C5 owners please post some pics, or direct me to a thread that has pictures of some cars. I really dont think I want a black one, but.... would like to see pics of cars with all different wheels options. I really like the looks of C5 coupes with Z06 wheels, or black wheels on cars. So.... would you all mind helpin me out here. Thanks, and I look forward to joining the corvette family someday, as soon as I can pick a color I like.

Kyle

Beautiful looking car! Blue is one of my choices. I am pretty much open to any colors except black (even though it looks awsome when clean) yellow, or maroon (deep red) Keep em coming Thanks,

Pewter, if you can find a good one. I love how it seems to change mood in different lighting conditions more than alot of colors and the metalic really shows off the lines. Looks good with accent colors too.

I think you'll like Medium Spiral Grey, but it was only available from 03, on I believe! It's a dark metallic grey that changes color in different light conditions, I'm sure someone with one will show you theirs.....Cozmo? Good luck in your search!
