What color is your 2005? I think it would be on the sticker in your glove box, but I can tell you what it is if you'll tell me what color you have.

Here's a list of Corvette paint codes (by year): http://www.southerncarparts.com/corv...des-ex-13.html

But I'm not sure if the OEM code is listed on the glovebox decal.

Look at the RPO code list in the glove box, left side of lid.

Look for 27U = Precision Red, 74U = Victory Red, 86U = Mag Red II.
