I was admiring your car today at the Z06 reveal. I have virtually the same car coming in about 8 weeks. A few minor differences but it was nice to see silver flare up close and personal. Good luck with it.

I agree. I get a lot of attention at cruise-ins. And it does look good in the Florida sun. This pic was taken last week at the downtown New Smyrna Beach cruise-jn.

Couldn't agree more. This is the first car I have ever owned where you get three different shades of color depending which direction you are looking at it (silver, tint of blue, tint of gold). I was showing the car to a friend of mine and told him to walk around the car to see the color variations. He was amazed and asked if all of the Corvette colors did this. I told him I thought Silver Flare is the only color that does it.

Mike like the look of fender hash marks had them on my C7 GS, are your calipers edge or bright red? I have bright red calipers & AR interior and only way to match them is to go with after market and don't think I want to do that like to keep it OEM.

My calipers are Bright Red and my interior is AR. But my engine cover and the red on the hash marks are Edge Red but they don't clash. The red on the hash marks is just enough red to tie the whole 3 colors together on the car in my opinion. I think bright red hashmarks would draw your eyes to them rather than the whole car. Just my opinion.

Anyone have any good pictures of a Silver Flare Metallic Coupe with the regular (not dipped) Adrenaline Red GT2 interior? I have to send in my spec, and I’m torn between the AR and the black. The black is safe. My concern with the red is that If might be too much of a lipstick red? In some shots it looks more muted, so it’s hard to tell.

This was on a sunny day but it’s definitely not muted…

Hope this helps.

Thanks, guys!

What's interesting is if you look at the dipped interior pictures in the post right above mine, it looks a bit darker than the "real" shots in the posts below mine with the black/red two tone. To me, the Adrenaline Red looks a lot like Porsche's Can Can Red of the 1980s, popular on 930 Turbos.

Thank you, again, for posting.

It’s definitely brighter than the visualizer renderings…. I went all in with the dipped but the comp seats have black accents, the waterfall is black and I have black floor mats and stealth interior pkg. Should be here in about 3 weeks and I’ll post up some pics.

Here's some photos I took after wiping down the interior with 303 Aerospace Protectant. Honestly, I don't think you'll be disappointed with the adrenaline red accents. If you go that direction, you'll get a lot of compliments on your interior, especially with silver flare metallic body color.

I would offer some pics of mine, but the above pics tell all. I too have the 2 tone seats.

^^^^^^^That's the same interior, (color wise with the leather instead of suede), I have on my Arctic White Stingray and I like it so much I'm ordering it again on my Silver Flare ZO6.
