I am not so sure about the wing. I would have to see another angle but, I love black corvettes. And to me I think your car looked good. That one was nice IMO. Its your car, do what makes you happy. Mine is gonna be black in a couple of months.

thats the only quality picture i have of my old one(that i can find) the rear wing is seemed into the back though.

the 500 ponies are from my 383 stoker build. I had a local shop basically give the whole car a racing upgrade(just about the only orig thing is the frame)

Thanks-
