Default What color FRC should I buy?

I've never had such a hard time in my life deciding on a color for a car! I don't know what color would be best! I like black since it's stealthy and very clean when clean. I also like silver since it shows the lines of the corvette. Pewter is attractive since there are many of them for sale and is close to silver. Red is ok, but I think it stands out just a little too much.

What color is best suited for the FRC and WHY?

I think you should go with a really dark blue almost black. That way you stay away from the another black vette

They never made an FRC in dark blue. Nassau Blue in '99 only, and that was bright.

I say Pewter, I own two Pewter cars and I am about to buy a Pewter FRC...unless I go for a Silver Z06.

White (did they make these), or silver with dark (black, black chrome, or anthracite/charcoal/competition grey) wheels.

Thanks for the opinions. I'm actually leaning towards pewter since it would be easier to maintain paint-wise. Much easier to clean and allows room for error when cleaning the car LOL

x2 on nassau blue, or spiral gray



Not a FRC, but a very sick color combo.

I voted Pewter, since that is what I have. I also love the white on the FRC.

Thanks man! Well Vararam, LT headers and a tune. That would be it until around this time next year when I cam her. I also have to do a few things to the Formula so that will slow me down also

I voted pewter...I love that color, I htink it's damn sexy on a Vette or F-Body.

I also really like the Nassua Blue though....I'd say it's a toss up between the two. I guess whichever comes up first and is the best deal.

I voted Pewter, but the white has lots of potential as well!
