Here's another wild looking C7 I saw while surfing the net.


The color is nasty, the wheels make it much worse. Don

Both of the Stingray customs are the owner's wife's vehicles. The purple wrap is a 2014 that was originally black.

I agree that having a red 3LT interior (+ racing seats) with the purple are a bit much, but look better in person. My salesman indicated that all the body panels were removed by their service dept. and taken to the business that did the Metallic Flat Purple Wrap. I was very impressed with their wrap job, as a neighbor of mine had his son's Avalanche wrapped in flat black. It is now peeling, though that may be caused by it's Buffalo, NY location, most of the time.

I would love to have my VY Vette wrapped in Flat Metallic Yellow-Gold, like the painted color of some Lambo's. However, I am not ready to part with $6K... and instead would spend that on MODS!!!!!!!!

I also liked it in the purple just not sure I would be brave enough to own it.

That purple C7 is at Stingray Chevrolet in Plant City, Florida and it is actually a wrap.

That Vette belongs Angelyne.






She has every generation of Corvette painted pink.

The wraps really make it easy to change colors.

I love the green, I wish it was available when I was picking a color.

As stated before, love the green.
The matte purple is not bad either, but agree, not w/red interior.
Shows again, no bad color for this C7!

Coulda done without the wheels being painted, but if you think back to early Nascar...the blue one is very close to "Petty Blue"
