It's subtle but just that small stripe adds to the whole effect. Nice!

I don't remember. I will have to go back and look. I think it was a custom color they sent me. I asked them for several samples of grey I looked at probably 10 different samples before I settled on the one I bought. They will send you samples for a fee and then once you return them they credit you back.

When it gets here, yes. I was asking if the C7 in your photo is the new Shadow Gray because that is the color we ordered. I thought your photo looked like Shadow Gray because of the blue tint. Ours will have dual Blade Silver stripes, gray top, chrome wheels and red calipers.

My stripes really stand out against the LBR paint.

That looks nice. Hard to tell but it looks like a silver stripe. If so, goes well with the wheels. I was thinking about something other than black for my LBR. It seems most LBR color schemes tend toward black as a complementary color. Mine is that way somewhat but I've opted for black and silver wheels... LOL ("straddling the fence")
