Default C7 in Ruby Red

C7 in Ruby Red

I always liked the Ruby Red color that came on the 40th Anniv. Edition Vettes... I think the color would look good on the C7 also.



The C7 would look good with a lot of colors. Hope they increase the number of available color options for the 2nd production year of the C7 for 2015.

Default Love That Color!

And love the extended hood stripe in black.

GM, here's a great idea for the 2015 high perf version!

I like that! Interesting that you (or someone) painted the quarter windows...and slammed the hell out of it!

Default Awesome looking C7 color and body

it is nice and low and I like the hood stripe. Interesting that you painted the quarter panel windows. Car is good looking in that color. I think the C7 will look good in any color. Thanks JR3.

A parts vendor will probly end up coming out with a paintable cover or scoop to cover the quarter glasses... I see a good bit of mustangs with scoop panels or louvers that cover the quarter glasses.

That is awesome!!! I love the hood stripe.

I was actually one who was excited about the quarter panel windows, but I like them painted in this one a lot.

Did you photoshop this or did you find it? Is there a collection of other colors somewhere I can browse through?

The color had already been changed by someone. I was just playing around with some of the small details in photoshop just to see what it looked like.

Im not sure either. That plastic chrome stuff does not look right in the nose area. They must have been having a clearance sale at Autozone on that stuff. They should have left it where they got it from.

The first required mod will be to remove, paint, or cover up that chrome stuff.

There are some Vette owners out there that evidently love Pepboys.
