Look at the 2016 MODEL YEAR VIHICLE PRICE SCHEDULE:
Gray Calipers - $595
Red Calipers - $595
Hello If they are the same price, why do they charge you $595 when you specify Red. I'm getting the 3LT package, wouldn't you think you could get the color you want at no extra charge.
It's the same as the dark badges, $100 option for the Stingray with Chrome standard but included with the Z06 and $100 to get Chrome. Anything non-standard costs.
But to some extent is does cost them more to build something non-standard. There need to be extra steps and extra checks to make sure the non-standard colors match up with your specific car at the right time

Not being a smarta$$, they do it because they can. The price of special parts is crazy, but you are not buying a Yugo, either!

$600 for painted calipers is pretty steep. I painted the ones on my C5 myself and the cost was around $45. IMO, looks just as good as any factory painted calipers.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. My wife and kids are color blind. I was planing to get a 2016 Torch Red with the Kalahari interior. They had just what I wanted with a black interior at the dealers and a convertible Red with the Kalahari, both were 2015 models. I liked the black interior much better with the red, both had L3 trim. Possibly the finish is a bit different between the cast calipers and the highly polished composite body. We all have different tastes, at first I swore that I would not have a Torch Red Vette because nearly every one I see is red. That was until I fell in love with the color.
