Well, I like red cars and yours looks GREAT!.

I always wondered about pinstriping on a vette. Not to bad.

Looks I wish my rims were that shiny.

We had a '85 two tone blue with a dark blue twin pinstripe going down the side and it looked good.

Default white dots?
What are the white dots on the headlight covers? Never seen anything like that before.


Inquiring minds want to know....

Looks very good nice job. I like driving my vette but I also like looking looking at other vettes. Hope you don't half to drive your car in the rain but if you do that just gives you something to look forward to (cleaning it again).

Your Vette looks great. I really need to get mine washed and waxed soon. (Hopefully this weekend)

I hope he knows that you can't drive a Vette in the rain because everyone knows they'll melt if rain gets on them.
