Default Is there a Red Mist Z06 Thread

I could not find a Red Mist Z06 thread. I am looking for pictures of the Red Mist with the Body Color accents. I plan to add Carbon Fiber aero, mirrors etc., so I don't want the Carbon Flash competing with those. Here is a picture from the visualizer.


I know, I have years to wait at MM, but with ELB gone for 2024, Red Mist or Black are top of my list.

Can’t remember who shared this, but I saw this pic of a Red Mist Z06 a while back and had to save it. It looks awesome.

I'm planning to get red mist as well and have yet to see a pic of one with body color accents. The other forum has this thread, but no pics of what you're looking for:

I'm torn between red mist with the tan interior and the sky cool gray interior, so I keep trying to find as many pics as I can. I'll let you know if I find a body color accent pic.

Great find, thanks!

It's fairly close to my planned build, but a few key things will be different.

You're welcome! For future model years, it wouldn't surprise me if GM comes out with carbon fiber accents so everything can match

I'm taking the opposite approach with carbon flash mirrors, roof and spoiler

I think as more people get their cars, there will be sticky threads dedicated to specific colors. At least that's how other forums do it.

I do wish we had those threads now as i STILL don't know which color i wanna get.

Been binge watching videos of C8's just to get some perspective. Google images don't do much.

If you live anywhere near Ciocca or MacMulkin, they always have the various colors in stock

I got my C7Z from ciocca (back when they were kerbeck). About a 2 hour drive.

MM is 4 hours.

You're right i might take a drive down to ciocca to check out the colors they have in stock.

It would be nice to have dedicated color threads. I just ordered Red Mist myself and have been scouring the net trying to find my exact combo and haven't found it yet. 3LZ Red Mist coupe, natural dipped, graphite wheels, red intake with carbon fiber engine appearance package.

It is good to get an unbiased opinion like that.

Lol every car I've owned has had either a tan or red interior. To each their own right. I don't like black interiors, but I know I'm the odd minority.
My hesitancy with the sky cool gray is keeping it clean over the years.

Understood, I was really looking for just Red Mist, natural dipped AND graphite wheels.

My 6 months of ownership is about up. I already have the painted top and the glass top but was thinking of getting the carbon fiber top with my points. Does anyone have any good pics of a red mist with the carbon fiber top? Would love to see it! Thx

OP, I would caution you on that look. It looks like you opted for "visible carbon fiber grille insert". I don't think that will look good at all with the body-color accented front bumper. You'll end up with a body-color red part, right below the nose of the bumper. It will look like "gums" sticking out; pretty much the opposite of what looks good (grill inserts in body color).

excellent pic. That’s the exact color combo I’m gonna do. Had concerns for awhile about clashing reds on the interior leather and the deeper red mist but I think it looks great, even wide open HTC like this, and my coupe will block most interior red with carbon 2 interior anyway (presuming that’s available as it seems the issue currently and it’s not a deal breaker for me like the carbon aero is).
