Boy, I thought that another red Vette was on my horizon, but the Blade Silver Coupe (third silver in a row) with black wheels (no more chrome to polish or brake dust to wipe off) and the rear black spoiler are outstanding. Not sure of the black racing stripes though and must add a red/blk. 3LT leather interior, 7 speed, Z51 and NPP a must will now be my early 2015 selection - hope that by then that a GS option would be available? I will have to bid goodbye to my '10 GS. conv. to save garage space. dt
Just a quick reply about the black wheels. They are just as bad as the chrome when it comes to brake dust. The brake dust makes them turn a sorta brown color.
That being said, I would order them again in a heartbeat!!!! On a Blade Silver Vette they are awesome ... you just have to keep them clean, which I would do in any case.
Ok, it doesn't look like Blade Silver is getting the love it deserves. Here are some shots I created on the Chevy Website of the one I want to order late next year, 3LT with Adrenalin Red interior. SWEET!
I did the wheels in both Chrome and painted. I plan to get them in painted and then send them out to be black chromed. I think the black chrome will look awesome with the silver and black. I love the carbon stripes too.
Come on, there has to be more Blade Silver cars out there! I know it must be a minority, but there has to me more that can be posted on here. I need my Blade Silver fix!
Ditto... when I get my order, I'll post it here. Blade Silver, Z51, black wheels, black side mirrors, black badges, black spoiler. No stripes. A8. Oh, and one difference from many of the Blade Silver cars I've seen... Yellow calipers. Should be ready by middle of August or early September.
Here's mine .... I did some selective color photo enhancement and made the background black & white. Have to make the car stand out. More photos to come in the Spring.
I love those black accents on that silver car! That color is my wife's favorite and my number 2 choice. I saw one at Courtesy Chevrolet under the lights and it was sharp.
^^We all know how many vehicles on the road are silver.Not a huge fan of it,But saw a vert with this exact combo is mental,huge POP factor.Something with this color on a vert including the rear spoiler.It gives the appearance the car is shorter,stubbier with a shorter rear deck.Maybe i need new glasses? The stinger on the hood is a nice add-on too? You nailed it.CHROME BANG!!
STVETTE
You are right that there a huge number of silver cars on the road but this, Blade Silver, is a much richer deeper silver color. I don't know how to explain it but it's different the color has depth! The German and Japanese silvers pale in comparison with this car.
To complicate things even more for a FINAL color choice what does GM do...They get out the friggen blender and come out with another color (JAWS GRAY)
Which color looks like $hit on this....this thing
