Convertible top color

Does it come in anything but black? Everything I see that is a convertible has a black top.

Nuttin' else as an option?

It depends on the body color what looks good. Go to Chevrolet site and configure with different colors and see what strikes your fancy...

I've configured the hell out of it and I don't see any "clickie spot" to change the top color. Thus, my post and question!

I would have gotten a red C7 if a white rag was offered, 'went to black. I remember it well........back in 1986, had a C2 that I was restoring,'bought a trainwrecked vert top fixed everything, had no idea how in even worked. Brought the car to a shop on Monday and told the guy I had a hot date on Thurs and gave him a white rag in the box. He charged me $100.00.

I'm not sure what happened to the configurator as you used to be able to change the top colors, but I haven't seen that in a while?

Unfortunately that function only shows black, they need to change that. Search and you can fund various photos of different body color and top combinations. I ordered my NRB with gray.

There are some threads here with photos of Convertibles with some of the other top colors.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c7-g...re-thread.html

I would recommend a black top, myself.

Blessed to own the last American Styled Corvette Convertible.A clear flat rear instead of a stepped Ferrari look alike.That's what I see.Opinions vary
