Default Z06 with Colored Vents a GO for 2016

http://www.corvetteblogger.com/2015/...016-corvettes/


As the C7 Corvette matures into its third year of production, Chevrolet continues to offer new options for Corvette owners to personalize their rides. One of the new options for 2016 is called EFY and it allows you to order your Corvettes with the vents on the hood, side coves and rear to be painted the same color as the rest of the body.

Wasn't this already an option? I seem to remember body colored vents as an option on the Z when I built mine.

Good thing I didn't pick it then! I wonder why GM doesn't improve their build website. It's abysmal. I don't own a Ford but my son said their build site is orders of magnitude better.

It may have been constrained for Z, but it was available on regular Stingrays. There's a thread in the general discussion area about this option and there's tons of pictures of it.

I just saw a 2015 with them at a local Chevy dealer. Looks horrible. The option was on the window sticker

Yes, constrained for most of the production year. Appears they finally got some out for the Z06!

Not feeling that to be honest. Maybe on black?

I think we shouldn't pick on style choices just on principle. It could be as ugly as sin (or beautiful, it's subjective), but what if someone else here buys that car or a similarly styled one? They join the forums to share and the first thing they find is a thread telling them how ugly their car is!

You can't have too thin of a skin on the Internet, but we don't have to be mean either.

I got trashed on the truck forums I'm on for having selected chrome wheels and a red interior. I hadn't submitted it for approval or votes, just wanted to share, but there's always a doob eager to point out how -your- car sucks, and it's not really fun after dropping $100K.

Honestly if I were to buy a white Vette I might go this route (a lot of noisy contrast of black one white) but then I bought red so it's moot.

Now if you had body color Stage 3 aero, that might be a bit much :-)

one of the things i really dislike is the carbon flash [ or whatever they are] colored vents. body color vent option takes away a whole lot of the ricer look for me. wish the headlamps were also included in that option. just can't warm up to the black headlamps...
