Hmm... He who pays the piper calls the tune... Not my thing, but that's what makes the world spin...
All it needs is a Welch's logo and a Moby Grape poster and it's good to go...

I like the purple a lot! Suits the car imo.... The blue door jambs are a hard no for me though

The color was black rose metallic. I think Chevy only used it for a year or two. I know 2017 had it. Beautiful color

My C7 is Black Rose Metallic and looks nothing like the Autotrader pics. Maybe in the right light at just the right angle it will have a very slight purplish hue, but that is rarely seen.

If you hadn't told me it was purple I would've called it blue, although I can see the difference in the door jams. I guess sometimes slight color blindness is a good thing.

I would expect that car to have Minnesota plates and the Artist formerly known as Prince driving with a really hot looking lady in the passenger seat. Not my thing but I liked his music.

Neil Huffman, bunch of D-bags. They won't work with you, and then when you finally do get a deal, they'll sell the car out from under you.

That is a beautiful looking purple! I would drive the hell out of that thing! Only thing I wish they did was the door jams. Always looks off when those are different.

Amazing how the C7 just looks good no matter what color someone applies to it.

Door jams are still blue. Must be a wrap. Who would drive that when open their doors it shows all the blue???? Btw the blue is way nicer.

Because when you are driving the blue cannot be seen and only the driver knows.

The car is not for those who are concerned with what others think.
