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

A shark gray stinger is what I'll be interested in seeing. I think it might look nice on a NRB car. We shall see...

I would bet after the release of the Alantic Pkg. you could buy the Shark Gray thru the parts dept.

Assuming it doesn't become available through the parts dept, I'd imagine someone like VetteFX will release something like it. I still want to see an example of the carbon flash vinyl, the painted color's amazing to look at so seeing in a vinyl material would be interesting to say the least.

The Carbon Flash Stinger Stripe is going to be on my Shark Gray done in Sept. I've seen CF on a Red and White and was great looking matched the CF vents perfectly.

Shark Gray Not Available???

I just got word from one of the forum dealers that shark gray for 2015 orders isn't available everywhere in the US. Because of that, he says he can't place my order unless I change the color or wait until the color becomes available and he has no idea when that will be.

Anyone ever heard of such a thing?

I think the Shark Gray color looks like the diamond graphite color I had on my '05 Infiniti G35 coupe.

Thinking of getting a Shark grey with black inserts; would a black interior be too much black with this new color?

I have only seen one truly ugly C7.. You really have to work hard to put together anything but a great looking car. Some people like to feature two colors like silver and black. Others want more contrast like silver, black trim like wheels and red interior. It really is a matter of personal taste. Go with what you are comfortable with, not someone's opinion. Their opinion is based on their taste not yours. So opinion does not make it correct...

My 2015 Shark Gray is going to have Red int. mostly because I wanted a strong pop of color inside and also some out with Red calipers.

I think Black will look Great along with Kalahari.

So any color but RED, I want to be the only one..
