Default Will you have PaulaH paint a custom hood blanket for your C7?

And what design will you have her paint on it?

Does the C7 liner have an imprinted logo on it like the C6 did? The hood vent will be an interesting issue to deal with. If I do get it painted, I'd like something similiar to my C6 liner:

No, too white trash... Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it.

If I took my car to a lot of car shows, even a lot of informal cruise-ins, I would seriously consider it.

No Joke. Honestly I will not bring my vette to a lot full of cars with that tacky S$#% all over it.

-Flames etc.

Leave the car how it is. Make it fast is cool too. but for the love of god stop the cheap #$%@.

Always thought this trend was pretty stupid. And its like the Corvette community is the only one that does it.

To each his own though.

I never liked it. I prefer looking at the underside of my hood and seeing exposed polished carbon. Those murals always reminded me of someone's old Winnebago with airbrush murals all over at it some trailer park. Or an Elvis painting on velvet. But to each his own. I can't stand chrome bling stuff either, but a lot of others do. Whatever rocks your boat- not for me though.

Man, you guys are tough.

At least its under the hood and most people never see it but the owner, so its ok to cut them some slack. I mean its their car, its just a little personalization for fun.

It's not for me but if they like it they should get it. It's not like they're making one of the horizontal bars on the front grille chrome......

...it would be difficult to restrict corvette ownership to only people with good taste...
