Default KAWASAKI GREEN

I thought I was going to have to change my profile from "the only vette in Gila Bend"
To "The only normal color vette in G.B."

This was running around for a week or two, I never meet the guy, but he was cruising past my house a couple of times.

My wife went :U

It wouldn't be my FIRST color choice but I like it. . . Adjust the stance (needs to sit lower), add a set of Torque Thrust D wheels, and black side pipes.
Then it would look tough.
Sort of like the '69 Corvette used in the BFGoodrich advertisement.

Not too awefully bad. Kind of interesting actually. I agree that it looks like a Mopar color from a few years ago. :rolleyes:

Not as bad as I thought it would be, if I remember right the name for the Mopar color was "Sublime." I agree with MIKER, add some TT's and sidepipes and it would look much nicer.

This color isn't really all that bad! I have seen MUCH worse colors on Vettes!

I dont think it looks too bad either...as some had said it definitely needs some better rims and maybe some hooker header sidepipes, but I also think the T-tops need to be painted the same color and paint the hood as well.
here is a comparison of the kawasaki green that I painteed on my jetski seems a litte more neon than mine.

I agree with MIKER. This is a perfect example of how important "stance" is. When C-3's suspensions aren't set up right, I think it really detracts from the look of the car.
