Default C6 Silver/Red

Getting ready to order a C6 to replace my ' 99
Red Coupe. I am thinking about ordering a
Silver w/ Red interior. Has anyone seen this combo?
Any comments? Any Photos?
Thanks

Have seen pictures of that combo,thats what I plan to order in an 06 model.What wheels are you choosing painted or polished? My plan is to order with the painted wheels and wait for an aftermarket wheel that I like better. Also plan on ordering a conv. not a coupe.

both the silver/red and black / red are way cool - my first and second choices but I bought mine from stock so I got black/black - my third choice. But that red interior with the silver or black is just really cool looking in my opinion.

Picking up my silver/red vert on Friday at the museum Obviously I think it's a great combination! One thing.........pictures seldom show the true shade of the red......in person it's acutally a lilttle darker and for me that's great!

I live in So. Cal, and found a company near San Diego that does
Chrome wheels, ON my '99 I order painted wheels, and got
replacement chrome wheels, I think I paid a couple hundred a piece
for them.

Red was my first choice for the interior with my silver coupe, but the gray was sitting on the dealer's lot and he made me a "decent" deal.

I did the same thing, but interior is black. I'm adding red to my interior.

Although I went with Silver/Black, Silver with red is super sharp and a classic combination. You can't go wrong. And go with polished wheels. The painted ones are too blah with the Silver car.

Silver exterior shows off the lines of the C6 very nicely (much better than the C5,IMHO), red interior is nice combo...I was considering one at a local dealership, but my wife is pushing me towards LMBlue...you just can't go wrong with any color on the C6 (oh wait- maybe that "Pepto Bismol Pink" from Kerbeck! )

When considering a Red interior, I think the Black and Red looks best with Silver in 2nd.

I've seen pictures here of them both. Check out the FAQ page for colors.

A most excellent and true observation. The red interior is darker in person than in most pics. I got it, and love it.
