I'm headed out in a attempt to purchase a Blade Silver Vert w/AR interior tomorrow. Oddly in the past a silver Vette wasn't my cup of tea. But when I saw the C7 in silver that all changed. In my eye it's amazing how the color shows the beautiful lines of the car, and blends in the black accents perfectly.

check out the two tone red/black seat combo as well - all black or all red were a bit too much for me. I have seen pics on the forum and also have some in my profile. Whatever you decide I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Now, If I could only keep the dam Georgia pine pollen dust off my car...good news is that silver doesn't show it as much as my black Audi A4 Avant.

Yep, got it starting here in North Carolina also. I keep mine inside, but the crap finds a way in......

We had to go with the 1LT because of the Wifey. The heated/vented seats just weren't comfortable because of some nerve damage from a wreck she was in years ago. I guess it's because of the panel that holds the vent fan. The seats in the 1LT are better for her. We gotta make Momma happy you know.

I agree. I have never been a fan of gray/silver colored car, bur the Blades Silver does contrast the car beautifully.

I agree with you completely. I wasn't at all crazy about how the C6 looked in silver (these words coming from a guy who ordered his C6 that way and kept it for nine years). The C7, however, is a total game changer. The car looks fantastic in Blade Silver. I think it's a combination of the Carbon Flash contrasting trim and the C7's sharp angles and creases. It just all works exceptionally well together.

You will be a happy man Fred. I was buying, then I wasn't, then.......I'm sure glad we did. Even the Wifey is happy, so I'm gooooooood.

She even said I could buy any of the mods I wanted. What a woman.
