Default Silver C6?

Hey guys, I've got a pretty lengthy post over in the Lounge about my search for a C6Z, and a dealer has a great price on a C6Z, BUT it's silver

...not a bad color, just not my favorite

It has the boring painted wheels also, so, I figured if I can work a deal, maybe I can make it look better.

Can someone throw up some pictures of some nice looking SILVER C6's?

Here's mine, not too big into the flashy wheels or anything, but I had the painted stock rims too, and decided it was time for a change. Silver is the best, especially if you don't like to sit around cleaning your car all the time...

Silver is awesome! Just think of all the time you will save by not having to wash it as much as the other guys.

I've had two black vettes and I have to agree with you, but Machine Silver is so easy to own and maintain.... looks clean when it is dirty.
