Default White interior

Is white interior an option on the 2017 Vette?

Not as a factory option

There are custom shops that can do whatever you want for the right $$

The gray interior in the StingRay is very light, almost white, usually photographs like white.

I have the light silver grey in my 3LT and trust me it's almost as hard to keep clean as white!! Even new jeans leaves a little dark tint on the bolsters if you rub too hard getting in and out. I also tried the "corvette sit and turn" in and out of the drivers seat. Not to offend any of the other members who might have the same Light Grey -- not again

Strange how different people have different experiences... At 7600 mi, I haven't had any issues with my gray interior yet. It stays clean without much effort and no marks on stuff yet. Of course saying that with my luck I'll spill Grape Crush all over it tomorrow...

Yep - very light - I was very surprised when it arrived - love it now!

No issues with ours either..... we have 2900 miles on now. In the summer months, regardless of whether it's light gray, or any other, we use the Terry Cloth slip over seat covers as I don't like wearing shorts on leather when it is hot out....... C7 Logo, light gray terry cloth covers, of course

Trust me, the red seats are just as hard to keep clean! It seems like they pull the dye right out of jeans and get blue stains on them. They come right off but I have to chase it all the time.

Do they come in other colors? This is how I ordered it and its perfect with the Blade silver. Easy to clean with a damp micro fiber towel.

Nobody orders a car with white seats, unless you plan on getting rid of it before the new care smell wears off.

Amen!!! On my 16 Z I got the 2 tone...the bolsters are black and the insert red. Much easier to maintain a clean look.

GM calls the Gray used in the C-7's Ash Grey. As mentioned, it is a light color grey and I have found it easy to take care of and it looks great.

Almost 6K miles and 11 months of ownership. No issues with my grey seats. Use 303 Leather Care every couple months. Careful not to wear unwashed denim clothing. Love the grey with Laguna Blue.

I had a C5 with gray interior and never had any problems. But I did make the mistake of wearing a new pair of only washed once black jeans on a road trip left some impossible to remove stains on my old kalahari interior C7.

Nope! This is my 2 1/2 year old '14 with gray 3LT interior. That is a white 8 1/2 X 11 printer paper on the seat. And my unretouched iPad photo today lit with a LED shop lite.

Light in color, yes, but easy to care for IMO. And I've never ever had to clean it, just wipe with a damp micro cloth. No worse than the tan interiors on our other two dds.
