Well I'm pretty set on black z with exposed carbon, but would like to see some seawolf grey with exposed carbon pics/videos.
If you guys have any. Please post away. I like the color and want to see what others think as well. Sea Wolf grey will be easier
to clean so I'm contemplating.
Sea Wolf Gray is a color you buy because your eyes can pick up some color ques that others can't. To my eye the paint has flecks of red and gold in it. The car would look good with the tech bronze wheels as well. Here is mine at sunset with the exposed carbon bits.

I saw my first Seawolf gray today and I was disappointed, I thought it would have more metallic in it, it's hardly noticeable.
Definitely would be easier to clean but will never look as good as black IMO.

That's debatable. Look as good as black for approximately 3 minutes after washing, or driving in town and covered in visible dust and pollen?! lol
I have been dead set on Sea Wolf with visible aero. One, I like the color, two, my last Z06 was black and I told myself never again. Seeing all these Z06's show up on lots at sticker has had me considering other colors however.
Sea wolf grey is a modern color I guess. For old school farts like myself, it just looks like clear coat primer. Not bad at all, just not beautiful in my book.

Black is more difficult than some other colors I know because I have 3 black vehicles, one is a Corvette, my second black one. Ceramic coating makes a world of difference in keeping them clean. I don't mean the 3k ceramic coatings but the self applied products. Use the best product you can and do it yourself, I use one from Shine Supply, it's very easy on and off. Even if you have to reapply in a few months it's well worth doing.
I sincerely preface, eye of the beholder…your ride, your choice and all of that. But as fan of neither Seawolf Gray or black (mainly due to cleaning requirement's), the black looks WAY nicer. Not even close. Not even in the same league…and add in Carbon Fiber accents, man that would look awesome. Seawolf gray looks like primer they forgot to paint. I know it’s in vogue right now, but that’ll pass. Black is timeless. A buddy of mine traded in his black Stingray for a black carbon flash Z06 a few weeks ago and it’s sharp. Just my $.02

Agree, and mine was ceramic coated, still was a pita. That said, I live one a farm, have a 1700' gravel driveway (that is getting paved next month thank God!!), and also keep around 8 acres mowed every week. Dust and pollen is a **** here during spring and summer time, peak corvette driving time, and every time I wanted to go for a drive, the car looked filthy even with a cover and sitting in the a closed garage. Was always just a never ending battle.
Nothing beats a clean black car for sure!!

I feel your pain! I grew up on the farm, 2+ miles of gravel and as a kid NEVER had a clean car, no Corvettes though. Married and moved to town and asphalt roads, so my cars/Corvettes were clean but since I still farmed my truck was another story.

Yep, all of our vehicles are now lesser maintenance colors for that reason!

Yeah I think the black is more sinister. So I think I'm all in now. Is this the carbon flash? Being really trying to see one in person. If you friend has a pic in the sun. Would love to see it. I only have carbon flash accents on my C7 z06 and its not that noticeable unless if the sun is throwing the sparkles from the flakes. A whole car is probably amazing.

Stunning Car! Absolutely beautiful. It reminds me of my old C6 GS. I had a grey one and always loved the color combo. I had grey wheels on that one as well. That is why I was thinking about getting this one as I like this color better. This was my old C6, I just dug up a pic.

Yes, this is Carbon Flash. I will ask him for a Sunny pic
