Default Cyber grey on C5

Ok guys!

I've got the green light from the wife and doing a lot of mods to car but need your input on what you all think about cyber grey on the back lower valance. Taking it to the painter this week and I have lost sleep over this. One Vette guy tells me black, the other says spiral grey.

The car is quicksilver, Z06 2002.

I keep coming back to cyber grey because I love it but know you guys will be honest. Thanks!

I have a spiral gray vert and I'm thinking of painting my lower rear fascia a darker gray vs. black which is more common. Interested to hear the responses.

What kind of wheels do you have, or is that one of the mods and if so I would go with the gray wheels to pull it together. But either way I think the Cyber Grey will look just fine.

I think the cyber gray color would look very good with the quicksilver car. Like you said, it will be different than the run of the mill black treatment being done.

Grey would have been the only color in 04 that would have had me second guessing the Silver I bought new.

They did not offer the Grey in the Z06. It would have been a nice color I think.

Id say do it !
