Great looking C7! My Favorite color. Just a suggestion: Add the Black hood stinger. It adds just the right amount of contrasting black.

Im in the SG VALLEY its hit or miss. Had the tint on for 3 months now - in LA maybe 2-3 times a month. At night so never ran into day cops.

Like your GS. Did you have hood vent painted or wrapped after or could you get that as a factory option?
i like it.

Thanks , I had the car for two days and my wife said that the vent would look good torch red. We went to O'riely's and got a spray can of torch red and clear coat. Removed the vent, lightly sanded it, then sprayed it.
Total cost about $12.00 and an afternoon.
Most everyone I tell what I did wonder why the factory didn't do that, and that I had a lot of guts to do that to a 2 day old car.

Cruised yesterday and found a couple spots to take pics. I played with the editing function to create some shots I thought worth sharing.

I’m guessing some of you are post processing the photos since some of them have a cooler color, almost like sterling blue metallic.

I'm in CA and did mine a year ago as soon as I bought it. Had 35% done all the way around and also had my windshield done with clear (77% or so). I have had 35% on four cars now spanning 12 years and have never been pulled over for tint. Even though it is technically illegal it would take a real ***** of a cop to pull you over just for 35% tint. The purpose of the law is so an LEO can see inside your car as he approaches. As soon as you go to 25% or below I think your odds of getting pulled over will increase.

I also was considering ordering an Arctic White C7 but seeing how the Blade Sliver exterior colour makes the lines stand out better on the C7. Now what colour for interior Adrenaline Red or Kalahari? Congrats on your purchase Happy Motoring.

Blade Silver = Great choice. I also considered AW. Too much contrast with black accents for me. I have Blade Silver on order. I went with Black interior.
If you like the Blade Silver exterior with black accents, consider black wheels, black hood stinger and transparent top (which looks black). Build one on Chevrolet.com and you can see how it looks.
Good luck with decision.

Thanks Perf! Many colour combinations look good on C7 which makes it hard to decide. either way whatever I decide it will probably be my last new car. Happy Motoring.

If you haven't done so yet, take a look at the Spice Red interior.

Thanks for suggestion LimeRay, I shall do that. Unless you see interior in person it's actually hard to decide on colour.
