Default Silver/1LT Gray

Thinking of ordering a silver and 1LT gray C7. The only options I'd order is ZF1, NPP, and transparent top. Car stickers for $59k and dealer will sell me the car for $55k. Can somebody confirm that the 1LT in gray comes with gray carpet. If anybody has this color combination with the LT1 interior, please, post a picture.

Yes, gray carpet is in that combo. Id do a black interior for some contrast with the paint.

Glen e...........Black interiors, in my opinion, are kind of boring. The gray interior is actually gray and black. The gray carpet and seats, are just enough contrast to "spice up" the interior.

Rick T............Thanks for the link. I really like black with a gray interior. I've owned two black Corvettes ('98 & '05) and the maintenance was a royal PITA.

To each his own, id do the red interior and match it with the red calipers. The silver car is one of my favorites, the chrome retainer and badges look good in chrome on the silver car.

I came real close to ordering a silver with the gray interior. It would match the colors of my 65 coupe.

Im most likely ordering an Arctic White with the gray 1LT interior. Like the fact the carpets are gray too, nice contrast with the rest of the black in the car.

I have an a/w with gray. the front carpets are gray, the cargo area carpet is black. I like it and really don't care if anyone else does or not. buy what you like and enjoy it.

Ordered the car today. Now the waiting begins.

Had I ordered the 2LT or 3LT, I would have ordered a red interior.

You will need to order some black floor mats to break up all that grey carpet. I have a Laguna Blue C-7 and ordered Lloyds black mats with two logos. The logos are shown in silver and black. Looks great. The grey mats that come with the car are cheap and get dirty very easy.

I ordered a silver 3LT with gray interior. Ordered some Black Lloyd mats with emblems. The mat retaining clips were gray and needed to be black to match the Lloyd mats.

Rather than try to color the gray retainers with a Sharpie (which would probably wear off), I ordered some black retainers (2 per side) from my dealer (GM #11611845) for less than $3 each.
