Here was my 2000 pewter coupe - sold it in June 2008. Loved the color (hid dirt and scratches very well) and you could really see the metallic flakes in the sunlight. Wish Chevy would bring back the color in the new models.

I'm in, my 98 still looks as good as it did when I picked it up over 18 years ago.

Pewter was my first choice, Quicksliver was my second, Silver won. But it is an amazing color, the Z06 I test drove made me fall in love with that color.

I'm looking at maybe buying a '99 vert.. I see from the pics it could be Pewter, has a Tu-Tone interior, light seat inserts and console and some door panels.

I've only seen a couple small pics, the dealer calls it "Gray" IDK if I like it. Car has 57,000 on it they want 14.5. Anybody got the 2-tone seats with a Pewter car??

I used the spray adhesive but what really got it to stick and look right was heating/massaging it with the hair dryer....

Hey Pewter People count me in! I agree, the color is just dark enough to highlight the metallic but light enough to hide dirt and scratches.
