Can folks who have owned a brownstone interior C7 for a length of time give their honest opinion of it? I'm considering it for my build, but I'm curious about its in-person appearance, feel, and long-term durability. None of the dealers around me have a brownstone interior in stock, but I loved the feel of the 3LT alcantara headliner and figured the brownstone would have a similar look and feel.
Love mine. I would have passed on ordering with the other colors offered....seriously. Budget another grand for a custom covered steering wheel from John Caravaggio.

Is that darker leather on the top of the steering wheel or just a shadow? I'd like to order the wheel and horn pad but I thought it was $2000. If it's only $1000, I think I'll order one.

Can't help you but I HAVE IT COMING ON MY DOSM in August. Everyone I spoke with said it looked GREAT. You have to order the 3LT package to get it. Has to look GREAT to spend the extra $$$$$ to get it.
I had BrownStone in my 2014 StingRay and loved it. I couldn't get it in my 15 Z and I miss it. I will
probably get the 16 Z just so I can get the BrownStone.

I cant give you an answer as to the quality or long term wear but from what I saw at the initial bash back in 2013 I decided then and there to get it. Mine is on order and scheduled to be built on 17 Aug. It is a Long Beach Red with Brownstone interior without the suede inserts.
Wow, glad to see so much positive response! I'm definitely getting a 3LT Z51, but colors have been my biggest hangup. It looks like Laguna Blue with Brownstone interior is my final choice. Thanks for all the input!

That's going to look really nice. I have a Long Beach Red on order too and I was torn between that and black. I went with black, but I think that will work really well with LBR.
We love ours. In our opinion, it was the nicest interior available. We love everything being wrapped in leather and suede. Very classy and extreme luxury. Cadillac like in its appearance.

Brownstone interior is great, you'll love it. But, the a pillars, visors and headliner are all dark gray not brownstone.
I have had my Cyber Grey with Brownstone Z51 since April 2014. No signs of any wear on the Ultra Suede parts, it still looks like new, and I was worried about it. Don't be worried it is standing up very well.
Brownstone and Cyber Grey sounds like a very strange combination, but I saw pictures of one and knew right away that was what I wanted. it is kind of classy and subtle.
I can thank Mike Furman at Criswell for turning me on to the color combo!!
I am the second owner of my 14. It had 7800 miles on it when I got it in April and I've now got it up to just shy of 15K miles. Still looks and smells new and I'm really glad I got it.
Brown is a color like my LRG exterior where someone had described it to me, or if I had just seen the pictures on the Chevy web site, I probably would not have ordered it. But the moment I sat in a car that had it, I was hooked. I would not have expected to like a brown interior but I really do.
