That white would look hot with black wheels.

Basically this, in white, with the spoiler and mirrors in black would look sweet, along with the grey HRE wheels and a lowering job. Not sure on the color of the brake calipers...


and Silver/Grey HRE wheels..

White exterior with black interior...cannot go wrong with that.

I usually prefer white with red interiors however GM refuses to give up the "lipstick" red interior it continues to put in corvettes. GM really needs to tone down this lipstick shade of red they put in the corvette. European brands use much more subtle (yet more expensive looking) reds on their interiors.



vs



See difference in shade? Go with all black interior.

The red online in the interior section looks more subtle or brick red, what is the true red going to be?

In the media kit there are two different shots/white balance of the red interior. I've heard that the actual color is closer to the darker one.

Any color compliments white; it is a great exterior color because it goes well with any color for the wheel, breaking calibers, and interior. I’m probably going with Artic White with red interior (maybe two tone), red calibers, and red license plate. It will also be fun yet expensive to change the wheel out every so often between gunmetal, gloss black, flat black, machine and maybe even red wheels. My ride will be sweet! Please Chevy hurry up and bring out the Z06.

Sucks my wife’s new BMW is already white.

I don't think there has ever been a Corvette that didn't look good in white. C7 should be no different.

I'm still warming up to the Stingray, but this pic in white looks good.
All white with the black vents.
No red calipers or anything.

You call it lipstick red; I call it maraschino cherry red. I guess neither of us are fans of this. Yes, give me that deep rich blood red.
