Looks just like the red two tone. I like it because the black bolsters are what get the wear rather than the gray inserts. It is a whole lot easier to touch up black if it get scratched.

I have it on my blade silver C7 and I like it a lot. The gray looks pretty light next to the black. It is a nice contrast. Pretty sure Classic Chevrolet has a couple of 2016 Z51s in blade silver on their site that have the two tone gray interior, with some good interior dealer pics.

I just noticed that the above photos are of two different cars, one with the two-tone seats with black suede inserts and the other without the suede inserts. Notice how the seat colors are reversed in the two photos.

That is what I plan on doing to the Z. Mine has solid gray seats. The skins themselves are not that expensive.

The black/gray is a very nice color combo. Have it in my C5 and love it.

I like the Dark Gray bolsters with light gray insert (seating surface) in my 2017 BS GS. In the order process, GM inadvertently received a gray bolster, black suede insert seat with black suede steering wheel. When I saw GM's received order, I changed it back to what I wanted, costing me two weeks on the TPW. I'm very glad I did it. I've seen the wear (shiny patches) on the suede seat bottom and steering wheel and prefer the smooth leather look on both. I have an almost identical seat color combination on our Audi SQ5. The light gray insert does require frequent cleaning, but it's manageable.

Am about to orderZ but have conflicting dealer comments on what is the difference between them
DEFINITELY want the light and darker contrast
Really appreciate any accurate info

My 2016 Z Vert, 3LZ with 2 tone grey & grey top. The seat inserts are microfiber. If you go with leather, the colors will reverse, lighter grey in seat insert & dark grey on the bolsters. Notice the dash is 2 tone as well.

Basically what I want to order but 2LZ or 3LZ?
Yours looks exactly what I want but don't want to make an expensive mistake I would have to live with

Again Thanks!

This what you will get in microfiber, mine is a 3LZ, 2016, not sure you can get in 2LZ.Once again if you get leather, the colors will switch, light grey in the seat & darker grey on bolsters
