I've seen grand sports in white with the grey stripe on the fenders and a grey interior. The car had an all white hood including the grille, What really made this car so memorable was the $995 option of painted white louvers and grilles...I see this as a very rare option and it's in my opinion very smooth looking.
I thought the car was so stunning I'm considering a white z06 with white louvers, hood vent, front side vents, rear fender vents and small rear spoiler we're white....and grey fender stripe and grey interior. I thought the color combo and whiteout which is a factory option
I've always had black interior but after sitting in the grey interior with the white exterior I was again very impressed.
I really love torch red with a black interior so I'm not sure (but I've had two torch red corvettes)...but that artic white wide body with a grey interior and painted louvers and grills from the factory was one of the best looking corvettes I've ever seen. I would say the grand sport on the showroom floor had chrome rims which I'm not a fan of but man the car was so striking as it sat....A real wow! Not sure I would do chrome wheels only because chrome rims are so fragile with potholes in this area...jmo but it did look dam good...I realize that chrome rims are not the latest and greatest so I'd probably just go with painted rims...either black or silver...I'm not sure....
Quite memorable and that would be my suggestion if you are going with the wide body version of the c7.

If I was in the market to trade my TR . . . I think it would be between Black and Admiral Blue. A Black Vette is pretty amazing, but I too have had black in the past and the dust-factor is challenging. AB is more forgiving and still a great color . . . Saw a black Vette with Kalahari interior--great "old school" combination.

Torch Red is the only color for me. It is simply the most attractive color of those offered by GM. JMO.

My C6 was red when my wife and I went to trade it in we spent about 3 hours deciding what color we wanted next. I think we drove the salesmen crazy we had him move cars side by side to compare. We narrowed it down to yellow or admiral Blue and ultimately went with the blue and have no regrets! We love the color I actually didn't like the last blue for whatever reason I love the new blue. I can't wait to have the stripes added.
My C6
How it looks now
How it will look with stripes
My mother bought a red one (it's her first Corvette)
