Here's mine: but I wouldn't order one. I'd love to have the blue seats w/silver exterior, but it requires the 3LT package. 1LT is sufficient, but it seems ridiculous that Chevy would make one choose a 3LT package just to get a different colored seat...

I originally thought so, but I am not sure.

Silver just may be the best color for highlighting the overall shape, body lines, and contours.

I like it.

I'm not good enough and recoloring pics but I do wonder what it would look like with the solid plastic area in the front body color and a slight strip on the bottom the same. S/B an easy body shop job

I love the silver but to get Morello red interior you have to go to the 3LT..... that pisses me off.

I'm an avid fan of silver vettes and I like the black accents. Breaks up the silver very well just like the black vents on the C7 does. I'm waiting for the convertible but the couple deft looks sharp!

My #1 color choice too - by a mile! With black side rocker panels, and maybe full length stripes. I would do black/gray two-tone suede seats if springing for 3LT. These pictures are starting to make me think, even though I LOVE my Black Rose C7.

The only problem is that every other car & SUV on the road is gray/silver/metallic white, etc. Heck, even my winter car is "Moonstone" - pretty close to Blade Silver (+ some gold and blue tones). I guess all those other cars, regardless of color, do NOT look like a Corvette!

Would like to see a body colored solid "front" insert in the center of the grill. I'm not into that black hunk there.

Default Blade Silver with Natural interior

I really like Blade Silver, and I’m a big fan of the natural leather interior. Just not sure if they go well together. The interior has a lot of bright aluminum which I think looks great with the tan leather, so wondering if it will match well with blade silver as well. Thoughts?

Black or red interior with silver. Or order the two tone seats in red and black like I am planning to.
