Default White Stingray Tinted Windows - Pics & Video

I took delivery on Monday and I wanted to post a few pictures and a short video.

I plan to do a full review at a later date but for now all I can say is that the car is amazing. It looks great, drives great and I have no complaints.

As you can see, I chose to skip the Z51 package... I actually prefer the car without the big spoiler and I am torn on whether or not the Z51 wheels are for me. I know that there are many other benefits beyond the cosmetic but it didn't make sense for me.

I just got the windows tinted today and I think it looks really nice. It seems that everywhere I go there are people taking pictures or video of the car so I had to tint it because the camera flashes were bothering my eyes.

Do you guys think the wheels would look better in Black? I mean the wheels on there now... I thought about that but then I think that the Silver are growing on me too. Also, do you think it would look better lowered a little bit?

The video is just random functions of the car like the HUD, exhaust clips, using Siri through the car and then just video of the car. I just threw it together earlier today so it isn't the best work...

If anyone has any specific photos or videos of the car or it's functions I would be happy to post them for you.

Congrats to you from a fellow Arctic Adventurer! I was going to do something about "White Power" or "White Rules" or "White Is Right", but any such statements are going to get me in a world of trouble for unintended interpretations.

Enjoy your ride, and don't let the paparazzi drive you crazy.

The tinted windows look great.

I actually think that only white and yellow C7's look good with black wheels especially with red or yellow calipers.

Nice car, looks classy in white, am I missing something? Why is one LED on? Not sure how the C7 lights work, just asking.

I think it looks awesome as it sits. The window tint really brings everything together. What is this fascination with black wheels? Back in the day the only cars with black wheels were base models or ones that had lost their hubcaps. I like the machined face look above, or even black wheels as long as they have a chrome or polished lip separating the wheel and tire visually. All black just looks too bulky. But, "to each his own," said the old woman as she kissed the cow...

I agree. Looks nice with the silver wheels.

Looks great! Congrats. Definitely you get my vote for black wheels, but not THOSE wheels. Also, the CORVETTE on the rear fascia looks.....tacky? Just doesn't look right. The emblem is more than enough. But, if you black out the wheels, black out those emblems too!

Congrats. Can't wait to see one in Arctic White!

Nice car. I've never had a white car but for some reason I think it's the best color for the C7, and none of the others are even close.

The spoiler on the Z51 may be functionally perfect but IMO interrupts the beautiful lines of the C7 as it ends at the rear when viewed from the side or back.

Congratulations, beautiful machine and well done video. I am still a bit woozy tho from the dash display with the engine running in the closed garage . But I loved it and can't wait for mine. Last check yesterday was 3400 all week. Maybe roll of the line next week ??? My garage is ready for her now, just need some new 'Vette art on the walls .
