14 Corvette - my own detail

You have a drop-dead gorgeous Corvette!

It looks bewitching...Yet cultured...Well-bred.
Resplendently Righteous!

Thanks for sharing.

Cyber grey (and white) are the best colors on the C7. Looks great!
 
These new Vettes keep growing on me. Hated them at first, and now as I see them popping up more and more, I realize that would like to own one more and more. Can't wait to see what the Z06 is going to offer

White doesn't really show any of the cars lines though and it gets really bad when you get to the rear, the non-body colored rear diffusor becomes even more pronounced! I really hope someone soon has it painted body color, shows it to GM and then they make the change. I understand contrast but that thing goes up waaaaaay to high and makes the car two-tone in the rear.

Can't wait to see a green one inperson or even a good pic of it!

I knew I should have taken some better pictures of one of the first OEM-Green Corvettes in a long while.

OMG....an "olive branch" perhaps, LOL!

I saw a green C7 on some cable show but they went by it very fast. I liked the dark green on the C4's, then they had a pair of greens on the C5's, one is more of an emerald green, minus a few pigments and the other was dark green, no green on the C6's. Wonder why green went away? It seems to stick around and then go away....

Glen, did you consider the matte gray? I see you didn't opt for the Z51 package, with that said, are you going to change out the mufflers? I heard the optional exhaust for the C7 and couldn't believe how good it sounded!

the opt exhaust is not part of the z51...I have it....I wanted the wheels to have pop, don't like black wheels....

I forgot about you liking Goodwood Green on the '67's.

C7's new exterior green is called: Lime Rock Green Metallic.
The one in the photo taken @ Bud's...had the below "Kalahari" cabin treatments.

I just realized it has a modified camaro rear end. You can tell it came from the same CAD design. :)
 
Damn, that green is almost the green I am painting my bike. except its called Dark emeral green metallic not a very good pic but here is an example (crappy lighting on the picture though!)
for some reason the pic wont show but her eis the link

Dupli-Color :: Success Story - Custom Electric Guitar

Im thinking of adding a little whiteto it, to lighten it just a bit.

P.S. Not my guitar or work.
 
It pops in the sun:

I'm with you, I don't care for the blacked out look on any car.
 
up close the camaro was not even part of the C7 design...they wanted a whole new look as they are trying to capture more of the younger set buying imports...so they say....but it looks edgy and different. The back is very polarizing, I like it. The Designer is not the camaro guy but the cadillac guy....

Im thinking the newest. No proof of my thought but thats how I see it. All they have to do is tweak the tooling a bit and not have such a huge redesign cost.

The 2014 Camaro's taillights are quite different from the 2014 Corvette's.

Yes they are and thanks for posting that pic, love green! Now, the green C7 posted a couple posts back is STUNNING but my God, PLEASE STOP ADDING BLACK WHEELS TO THE CAR, IT LOOKS HORRIBLE!

GlenE, I respect your opinion and love your wheel choice, nothing wrong with that but I would love to see the matte gray wheel on the car, its dark but not so dark that it would ever be called black, that's for sure. I'm really impressed that you didn't wait and pulled the trigger on some new rims right away, any plans for more mods, like window tint or intake?

Im aware of this Bob, I was not saying it was exact pull from the camaro, I said that it resembled it. The designer may have not been the same guy, however he definatly was working from the same CAD program and mass database. I just noted how it reminded me of the camaros backside. I do dig the whole car and that green one in the sun is BAAAAD AZZZZZ!
