They did a pretty good job on what was to be done, IE: the graphics. Obviously took talent. But I would never put that kinda $hit on a vette. It ruins the overall sleekness of the body and design through visual detachment with complicated imagery. It also serves to "white trashify" your vette almost instantantaneously no matter whos opinion you rounded up to temporarily save it from its inevitable fate of stereotypical ridicule.
I like many decals, but stickin em all over the friggin vette is not exactly something I would call "art".

Everyone is entitled to thier opinion and we can freely express ours in the USA, thats why my husband is in Iraq now. As I see with your car you express yourself your way and I did mine my way, thats what makes this country great and our cars.

Add some more pictures of the whole car with the hood opened and closed, I also would like to see the Vette in whole, it looks like a nice job, and if you said it was a fair deal and you're happy with it, then that's all that matters.

Here's another speedy return reply for your husband too.
