I think that it's a sharp looking color to be sure, but am still happy with my color choice. Also most interiors would probably look great in it. I'm not a fan of the red interior so I wouldn't choose that one, but think that I'd be happy with any of the others inside had I chosen shark gray as my exterior color.

I confused one car for the overall color. Apparently the trim was the only part painted SG.

How much metal flake does it have in comparison to Night Race Blue and the Carbon Flash colors? Think it would be a good complimentary color to those two?

I asked Cust Service about that. They said:

... Shark Gray does have some metallic, but not as much as Cyber Gray. The gray Z06 revealed at Detroit, and shown at other shows, is Shark Gray.

The Trim Vents color where the only sample of Shark Gray.

You will be able to order the Shark Gray vents for the 2015 cars:

The 2015 Corvette Stingray will no longer be limited to just the black colored exterior vents. Buyers can get them now in standard Black, Shark Gray or body color:
EYT – Carbon Flash Exterior Badges (included in order guide) EFX – Shark Gray Exterior Vents EFY – Body Color Exterior Vents
E57 – Carbon Flash Tonneau Inserts for the Convertible

So, it is possible that GM painted the vents Cyber-Gray to match the stinger stripe in the photo???
