This was the warm day....it hit 45, so they let me pick it up.
you should have seen the look I got on Sunday bringing in the convertible for appraisal as a trade in.
Sunday it had "warmed up" to 21... from a start of -11 !
guessing people thought it really wasn't a convertible vette day

Kalahari
Hi, I considered the Kalahari interior initially, because I had a saddle interior in my 76 Vette, but I didn't like the black trim mixture and especially the black carpeting. If I was ordering I would have chosen the Saddle (darker brown) but you have to get the LT3 trim package. I think Ammo has the LBR with saddle, it's a really nice combo. I ended up with a stock ordered LBR and black LT3 package, because I got too anxious after my original dealer couldn't get an allocation for a Z51 a month after I placed my original order.
Best of Luck
Regardless of the color you'll love the ride......

Stripes For Long Beach Red?
Good morning, all - I am looking into racing stripes 
and am very unsure of what color to choose. Does anybody have stripes on their LBR and could you please post a pic or 2, to give me an idea of what stripes on LBR look like, and then how the different colors overlay?
I'm looking at VetteFX, a supporting Vendor here; and, they offer the following colors:
Carbon Flash
Gloss Black
Flat Black
White
Red
Silver Metallic
Charcoal Metallic
I'm leaning towards White or Silver Metallic, but on the fence with Carbon Flash and Charcoal Metallic.
This is almost as fun as selecting the color for the Vette, and at the same time perplexing because I like them all.
But, in this case, it's the combination. And, there are other considerations like do I want the grill vent to "pop", by selecting a lighter color stripe, or do I want the grill vent to blend in with one of the black colors.
Thanks for any input and/or pics out there, all!

I think silver would look dynamite. The nice thing about stripes, they aren't permanent, you can always change them, granted its not super cheap, but it's not that bad either. You should see if Sean at Vettefx will send you a couple of pieces of each color so you can see them in different lighting conditions next to the paint and trim. I think it'll look sharp whichever direction you go!

Yep, all who get in are impressed with the rich appearance of the brownstone.
