Curse this thread, I was dead set on Arctic White and now I am second guessing that.

For me, it was white or silver from the get go.

While the silver looks great, so does the white no reason to second guess

I love the C7 in AW but also in the BS. What makes mean lean towards thr Silver is one thing only. Thr metallic in the paint which when it's shined and polished it really pops in the sun, much more than the AW. Plus I'm tired of a dark hard to maintain color. Just my opinion.

Also, the Carbon flash paint on the vents and scoops is a gloss black with Silver metallic "sparkles". Really compliments the BS. The Carbon Flash stinger stripe also highlights this Blade Silver/Carbon Flash silver metallic theme.

I think it looks really good in silver too! Here's one I saw a few weeks ago at a local dealership with the new buyer ready to enjoy.
Yup still my favorite color....

I've posted these here before but for those who may have missed them I took these outside the plant back in April. It was raining at the time but you still get the idea.

Adding my sharp new Blade to this thread...

Here is one of my first pics from 10/29 after closing the deal w/ Rick.


About to load it onto the transporter for its (3-day) journey to So. FL... arrived at home safely on 11/1


After its first 'sealant'... at Glen's two weeks ago.


Honestly, the C7 looks good in all the current colors. Lucky & blessed to have this too... more pics next time.

I really like the Blade Silver, Jet black Interior, 3LT, Z51!! A question - I noticed that some C7s have a Carbon Flash Rear Spoiler while others are Blade Silver...so can you order the Z51 Rear Spoiler either way??

Yes, option code TTV ($100) gets you the CFM spoiler & mirrors on the Z51.

Couple of close ups of Stinger stripe. Really glad I got the Carbon Flash stripe to compliment the vent.

It's the GM option.. installed at the factory. At the time I ordered the car it was the only option at $500. But glad I did it and would do it again.

The carbon flash stripe looks really good on the C7.

I saw it today at a dealership on Laguna Blue and Crystal Red.
