Default Made a change

So I made a much needed change to the corvette this week. I like it a lot better. The blue in the nitrous rack wasn't doing it for me.

That works for my personal taste.

I would not have cared for the blue either.

NICE WORK!!!

Cool! Any pics from further back with the hatch closed? I like the idea of those tanks being seen through the glass.

My local Harley dealer also does powdercoating. He did everything for $35. I was so happy that I am in the process of pulling more things off the car to get some powder.

I kind of like the blue highlights, but the new looks is good too. Nice flames done to the tanks.

The blue was an eyesore, much better. Doesn't distract from the tanks now which is the center piece of art.

It's like putting a Picasso in a ****** frame, you just don't do it.

Looks good. I've never seen bottle brackets like that.

Looks neat, but can I make a suggestion.

When there's a fire in your car, that extinguisher is going to be very hard to reach. Perhaps you should consider moving it a bit closer?

Blue looks great but the black blends better for a complete look.
