I am lovin' all this blue!! Do you think the lighter top and interior compliment the blues more than black?

I like the grey for the interior if you go with the Navy Blue Metallic. I keep the top off alot and when it's over 75 degrees, the black center console gets very hot. I couldn't imagine how hot black seats would get

Having said all that, get the color combo that YOU like.

Good Luck.

thanks

You can't beat 2002 Electron Blue. That color just dazzles 'em especially when the sun is getting low.

ELECTRON BLUE!

I searched for months and months until I could find an excellent condition Electron Blue 6-speed coupe. Electon blue was only available in 2002 & 2003 and so I had to settle for a used vehicle - which saved me, believe it or not, $25k! In 2004 GM switched to LeMans Blue (which looks similar but is slightly darker in hue).

Blue rulz!

2001 Navy Blue Metallic Coupe. Beautiful. Has a hint of a purple hue sometimes but at night, its close to black but you can tell its not and during the day people have said that they love the color. Its very distinct and if you look at the stats, Navy Blue was one of the least made colors... 2001 is the last year they made it... The other blues have a little more flash. Navy blue looks regal. Think batmobile...

I'm hoping GM offers EB on the 07 or 08 Z06. Would really like that as my
next color!
