Default Dark Grey Interior

I had ordered a Blade Silver car with traditional black interior and the dealer pointed out that there is a new dark grey interior. I was wondering if anyone had gotten a car with that interior or have seen one with that option?

I am ordering DSOM but just wondered if you have seen what a Blade Silver and Kalahari car looks like.

I like the Blade Silver and Adrenaline look myself, but the Kalahari is something you may not have seen yet. I do not have Blade Silver and Dark Gray pics but I know that it does not come with black carpet, whereas the other colors do.

Every dealer gets this giant book (probably 1 foot by 2 feet) which has all of their cars and trucks. It actually has a sample of the interior leather. The dark gray is only slightly lighter than the black. I was trying to decide between the two and went with the gray.

So you need to find that book at the dealership.

It certainly won't look bad but it comes down to how much contrast you're looking for.

Default dark gray with suede inserts

Here's a few picture of my DSOM ZO6 'Vert. I ordered the dark gray interior w/suede inserts. I'm very pleased with the color contrasts on my car. The dark gray on camera shows up almost with a lite gray or blue hue but in reality it is not as light as the pictures make it out to be.

From what I've seen dark grey isn't really dark but more of a medium grey.

I agree with you 500. Charcoal Gray might be a deeper gray hue but not offered.

I would also like to have seen full deviated black carpet (like with AR), I think it would have served the DG quite well.

I've already ordered black mats for my dark grey interior. I know I'll like the look better.

I have black mats in my Z06 and the contrast with the Dark Gray interior looks sharp!

That's exactly what I did. I have black mats down and accents the gray rugs very nicely. Will post pictures soon
