Default Carbon Flash Painted Rear Deck on the ETMC Manta Ray Corvette

With our "manta ray" corvette we want the car to stand out from the other c7s out there, give it something that is its own. So the manta ray will have a option to paint all the top of the car. Here are some pictures of the A pillars, top sides, rear brow and rear hatch painted GMs carbon flash color. This will be a option on the ETMC Manta Ray

And stand it out will. LOL To each there own I guess. I'd a suggested vinyl wrap instead of paint so it was easily reversible. I've never been one to comment negatively on other peoples mods but that looks plain silly to me. It looks like you destroyed the hatch and found one off a black car and didn't bother to paint it.

Stand out or flow. Depends on how you look at it. The Mirrors and spoiler were already carbon flash and looks like there just stuck on there the a pillars and all were painted at this time so it would flow from front to back. We have had some very positive responses from people who have seen it locally. But we know its not for everyone The point of it IS TO set it apart from other C7s out there

I don't know what the guy was thinking, but there's a big difference between different and attractive. The paint lines are just 'made up'. They don't match the lines of the car or "flow". Not a fan.
