Default Photoshop Request - Black ZR1

May I ask someone to kindly photoshop a couple of the launch photos to show how the ZR1 will look in black? I’m undecided between black or gray for my order and am hopeful this may help me choose. My last Vette was black and I loved it when it was clean but it’s a lot of upkeep to keep it looking perfect. I really like the gray (my gtr is dark gray) and wouldn’t mind the easier upkeep, but part me thinks I may regret not going with black.

Thank you!

Did you look at the Chevy pressroom photos?

They published photos of two different colors, the orange as well as this one (more on the site).

^^^ Hi, yeah, I been pretty much staring those pics non-stop for the past 24hrs. Those are Watkins Glen Gray though and I wanted to compare that color against black since those are the two colors I'm considering. I hope GM will put up the "build your own" page before I have to place my order, that would helpful for comparing. Thanks.

Not too much of a stretch to imagine it a little darker I suppose. And really, there are some body changes, but in general there is a lot similar to other models and black is not a new color.

I agree, black would really look good, I played around with the Watkins Gray and made the background lighter, it then shows the lines better.
The top of the line wing is "over the top" for me.

I think this gives a fairly good idea on black.

Black paint with red interior and blue calipers would look good.

Looks much better in Black than that burnt orange color!

Black looks wicked! Worth the once a week wash.

Just use the eagle one wax as you dry as you dry off the car..keeps the car cleaner all week. Every six months hit the car with a griots orbital polisher..

If you want to finish it off to perfection use this product from forum vender detailed domain called keyotek pro ...I have a 115k Miles on my 2008 c6 z51 since new and it's my daily driver...looks brand new and takes all of literally 12 minutes a week.

Black is bad ***!

Billy my suggestion is get the black..

Jmo

I was considering black with some red touches similar to the orange highlights on the Sebring Orange package. Now that I've seen the black pictures, I think that's the plan. If you Photoshop Genius's could add some of the red trim on the ground effects like the Sebring car has, that would be great to see.

I love Black and my GS vert is black, but.....with all the carbon fiber on this car it seems to me that it blends way to much in black. The orange really makes that carbon pop!
