This is the color I want, but wife keeps pushing towards the crystal red!

God, the hardest part for me getting this car is picking the color (and waiting for another month to put my Z06 up for sale lol)! They just all look great!

Default You have to see the NRB in person to decide

Same boat here, car is all picked out except the color! My CE Vert goes up for sale right after the holidays and my C7 will be ordered. I was leaning towards the crystal red and my wife was pushing for the cyber gray. I decided we should take a look in person and visited our local dealer. We looked at every color available and kept walking back to the NRB. Parked right by the windows were a NRB, CR, CG and black. The crystal red is a beautiful color but I tend to like the darker colors as it cuts down on the contrast with all the balck accents on the car. To me the black looked too glossy, the cyber gray looked a bit dull and the night race blue was right in the middle. The wife finally decided on the night race blue and I have to agree totally. You have to see the colors in person to make the right decision. Good luck with yours!

Just submitted my order for a NRB 2Lt Z51. Hoping for placement this week and delivery in time for spring. That would be perfect!

I found a picture of a NRB C7 back in September and posted in on my Facebook page, saying the color was really growing on me. Well, my order is in for a car that looks just like the one in the OP, Z51, black wheel and red calipers. Can't wait!!

That's a damn nice combo, congrats!

I'm hoping NRB is around for MY2016 as that exact combo would be right up there at the top for a new Z06. Looks so good, damn.

WOW!!! My second choice.......... but since I had NRB on my 13 could not do it!!!

Love the vert..........but I would have added the red interior. Man that blue top then you drop it and see the red!!!!!!!!!

Anyone got (or know of photos of) the NRB Z51 with the carbon flash trim option? It's the one thing I'm still up in the air on whether I want it when I place my order.

No, but it's what I'd order, especially if going with black wheels.

Dark wheels and dark trim makes NRB invisible at night. If you pass another car at high speeds they will say" WTF was that!? LOL

Completely agree. I'll be getting it initially with the silver wheels since the black wheels are a little bland, will likely get them powdercoated something similar to the carbon flash color sometime after I get the car.

Here you go. Picked on 12/12/13 - she joins her C6 - hated parting with the C5

Thanks Guppies! Sold on the carbon flash trim from those photos! I really wish they'd offer the wheels in that color as well, instead of just 'black', but I was already planning on getting the silver rims and painting / powdercoating them at some point anyways.

I hear yah about having to part with your C5, granted my doing so wasn't exactly voluntary.
