Default Blue on blue pic?

Can someone post or provide a link to a photo to a Nite Race Blue convertible with a blue top? I thought I was going to order Cyber Grey but now I'm thinking NRB. I don't like black tops and I want Adrenaline Red interior. I think the blue top is a dark enough color but I'd like to see the combination together. Thanks

I'm not a big fan of mismatching blues. I don't know the color options, but I think a neutral color would look better.

Adrenaline Red or Brownstone both look great in the NRB - imho

I'm hoping the blue top will bring out the blue in the NRB: yesnod:

I have blue/blue on my 427 vert and it looks good. there is another member who has one with red interior, and it looks stunning, to me anyway.

May I suggest a black top with NRB with a black accented spoiler.

I can't imagine why most people here do not like this combo...I think it actually looks really nice. With the lighter blue top, the NRB body actually starts to look more blue instead of black. I think it's super sharp.

i'm not much of a Convertible guy so I can't really have much of an opinion on this. The C7 seems to look better with the top up, than previous vettes though.

Me, too. Also, as another poster mentioned, the shape/outline of the top has changed slightly from past years. It looks better to me. Finally, the blue-on-blue works for me as well. I'm not a convertible guy, but I could own this look even if I never put the top down.

Black tint on the windshield and black accent trim pieces would make a black top look more like a designed accent element on the car.

The adrenaline red interior uses black accents too.

That blue top color is no where else on the car, IMHO the black makes the blue bluer instead of blueish.
