Default Black Interior

I asked this question the other day and nobody responded. I will try again.

From a visual perspective, does black 1LT, 2LT and 3LT all look the same ?

Roughly or right down to texture?

I am wondering if the supposedly better leather on the 3LT will really be apparent on a 3LT or if it would look like the 1LT. It will be hard for the factory guys to know the difference if you order black.

The gray sure looks different in person. It looks more ivory or off white. I am trying to change my order from gray to black. Don't think I could live with a white interior. The images on the Chevy "build your own" look gray but pictures of delivered cars are way lighter. My C5 had a nice medium gray and that was what I thought I was ordering.

Good question. And I'd like to know if all the trim levels of black get the lighter grey stitching?

All levels of Black get the Light Grey stitching and yes, Black they looks the same no matter the Trim Level. Here is a Black 1LT interior shot.



I plan on coloring the stitching in my Night Race Blue's Black interior to Navy Blue.

Oh, I drive - I'm not going to be doing the Corvette Crawl.

Does "TX2k" mean anything to you? - If not, Google it.

I've wondered if one was considering black interior whether it would make any sense to move from 2LT up to 3LT.

I'm guessing by the comment and the context that he participates in the TX2K event and plans to do so with his Stingray.
