Thanks.
I saw a dark blue metallic (NRB?) 2014 at the MN corvette show. It was inside in a show room. It had the dark brown interior. I had already ordered a CG with kalahari 2014 and after viewing the other color this weekend I still like the CG color.

NRB for me, it hides the goofy black accents the best. I'd order the car Carbon flash if it was an option to blend in the vents and hid the ugly rear bottom facia.

NRB will go great with Brownstone 3LT or black 2LT.

Cyber gray looks good if you like the black accents everywhere.

GOing with Cyber Gray. I like the color and the fact that the vents, grille, etc are going to be available in that color down the road as well.

I thought about that, but will they also match the lower rear?

I'm really hoping I can see both colors in person and in good lighting on the C7 before my allocation slot opens.

Does anyone know what color cars they display at the ALMS races? I will be in Austin for the race in September.

Unfortunately there is no "set" color that they display at any particular venue. It just comes down to who is going to represent GM/Corvette and the Stingray and which car they have been assigned to drive at that particular time.

They were both next to each other at the NewYork car show. Google that show ..I have pictures of both side by side. I bought the Night Race Blue..just my opinion more color...

This is always a personal choice not sure how any of us can help you???? But strickly from a down the road view.......NRB will probably be discontinued in the not too distant future. Not so much Cyber.

If you want something a little rare go with NRB.

How different do you want to be? There's going to be a lot CG's out there this time next year and few NRB's. just an added thought.

Can someone tell me if the CGM Stingray in the show picture has the exposed carbon fiber roof? To me it looks like it does and if so looks more distinctive than other posts have mentioned. I'm on the fence about choosing this option since in another thread most of the new orderers were getting the painted top since they felt exposed cf didn't show that well

Yes, it is the exposed carbon fiber roof panel that is pictured.

The painted roof is of course all body color.

The exposed carbon fiber roof is clearcoated carbon fiber weave with the edges over the doors painted in body color.

Transparent roof panel can be mistaken for the exposed carbon fiber panel but it does not have the painted "rails" along the sides.

....and if you get it in the sun, NRB, with the heavy metallic flake, looks light years better than CG ever could.

I would not want facts to ruin your judgement but history says you are incorrect...

I think the only way NRB problem will be solved is to bring back LeMans Blue asap! That was by far the best color blue ever offered.
Color choice is so subjective. To the OP, you will really need to see the colors in person.
