Default Convertible tops.....

Has anyone seen any photos of the C7 convertible with the top up? I am looking at getting a Velocity Yellow with either the Brownstone or Kalahari interior, but have never seen it with the different color tops. I understand that the convertible will come with blue, tan, black, and Kalahari tops.

If any of you photo shop artists can do some magic with those colors I would be grateful.

Thanks, that gives me more than I had before. I just can't decide between black and Kalahari. The interior color is still up in the air. I guess I’ll have to see it in person before I spring for a new car.

I did research and the black top will not show rub marks after repeated cycles. I'm going with black for this reason. With the new key FOB I expect lots of cycles.

My last two black top verts showed rub marks. Now I just leave the top down and never see them

Default ragg top

Black top on our Monterey Red car looks great after 7 years. This in the mega harsh sun of S. AZ. It is where UV rays go on holiday. And it gets cycled a lot. We have the top down 300-325 a year easily. We do use Ragg Top on it once a week so far so good.

Years ago I had a 64 Dark Blue GTO vert with a white top. It looked great but was a big PITA to keep clean. Now with the C7 in say NRBM I've seen it with the blue top but I wonder what the gray would look like. Where the heck are all the photo shoppers now????

Such a nice roof line. I wish they would build a C7 fixed roof coupe like the by gone days of the C5 FRC/Z06. Could someone please photoshop the roof body color? All I want is... 2014C7Z06FRC550HP. I could use that for the custom VIN number option.

Custom VIN option is only for the last few digits.

Yes, it was in jest, but for $5000 one should get the whole VIN and then some. Anyone order this option?

No one has any? Even opinions? Curious if it matches. My dad wanted a white top, red interior (c7 grand sport?) But no white top is pushing him to a coupe. I think if the blue top looks good he will get the vert
