Just found the color specific thread. Picked mine up on Labor Day and so far the only mod is muffler delete with the Flowmaster dual 4" tips (X2 of course). Almost ashamed to post a pic of a lowly Stingray with all the GS and Z06 photos here.

You got yourself a sweet ride. Remember there is always someone faster. That goes for all of us.

took the black wheels and cup tires off and installed OEM chrome Z06 wheels and pilot sport tires. I like the look better.
GM should of given us a choice on the tires when ordering the Z07 option.

I had the black wheels on mine but they seemed to wrok better with a more contrasting color, IMHO....and they only looked good unless they were absolutely clean, which was not often. They seemed dull and invisible in most lighting situations. I decided to upgrade to the machined faced wheels which always seem to look good. A bit of brake dust is not apparent at all on these.
I don't think WGG shows dirt more than any of the darker colors, and is certainly not as bad a black. Silver is the easiest to deal with, but I think the WGG is worth the extra effort.

WGG instead of black since I already have black cups on the other car
wanted a different look!
I had to get your picture to see them again only one I can find. Very nice and will go will silver as well!

I currently have a Laguna Blue C7 and looking to move up to a Z06. I want to DD it as much as possible, how are people finding the color holding up to dirt and swirls? I know Shark Gray is a lighter gray but I am finding new '17s for just a bit over used '16s.

I have had no problems with swirls. I love black cars but won't buy one for that reason. Watkins Glen Gray is a great compromise. Here is a pic of mine from last weekend...

I gotta ask since I ended up buying a Torch Red but extensively looking at the Watkins Glen Gray but ultimately decided against it since it has a green tint to it under certain light conditions which was a big turnoff for me! Does anybody else notice this or is it just me? Thx!

No problem, charged me $360 for roof and stripe. He had to custom cut the decal to fit.
It starts at the front, and one piece goes up the left side and one up the right side
Decal was cheap, forgot exactly ??$ 35.00 maybe, many colors to choose from
It can be removed, no problem if I sell and next owner does not like it
