I would recommend a blonde that smokes and fidgets a lot

Pinstripes? GS stripes? Maybe someone here can photochop one for you??

From the picture in your sig you car is black so keeping it the same color is a good idea. As you probably know a black car is a pain to keep clear, but when it is there is nothing like it.

Skip the paint, go with INK, it's cheaper and more fun!

unless it turns out the silver and black paint job on my 86 is stock from the showroom floor, i'll be repainting my vette black sometime down the road... about the only thing i'd want to put on top of that is a pair of silver GS stripes...

I would like to see a black C4 with the AFS gunmetal GS rims. Then paint a GS-style stripe the same color as the wheels. Then maybe metalflake silver hash marks on the left fender.
