Default Darth Vader C6??
This is just too blacked out for me.. plus I think I would have painted the calipers a gun metal grey or even black, for a true "black out look".. any thoughts? Side profile just looks odd with all that black...

I vote "not blacked out enough"

If you're going to do it, I would black out the side markers a little more...

However, I WILL admit that Darth Vader DID have some lights on his chest that were red or blue or something like that... so maybe this IS his car

All black is but I think the lighting in that showroom doesn't do the car justice.

Yes it's dirty but once the paint is clean that is one badazz Vette.

You don't know the power....of the dark side.

I like it. Should have also blacked out center caps on rims. Same rims going on my VR, all blacked out when completed

I love it but the guy could have Zaino'd it before he put it up for sell.

I love the all black look because it makes the car look smaller/lighter then it really is.

Ok, I'll be the voice of reason here....

Someone would have to be high as a kite to pay that on a 2yr old car when you can buy it for new now for a little bit more.

sidemarkers need to be cleared out, looks like they took the rear light covers off in some of the pictures. Also who tries to sell a car with dirty pics, oh well, i bet that 1 hr car wash would yield them at least a couple Gs in the selling price

Looks like he washed it with an old dirty rag and scratched the crap out of it.
