Default What do you think???

I get questions every now and then as to why I didn't leave the black body line. So I decided to play around with photo shop real quick, to see what it would look like with the lines, and this is what I came up with. I think that it looks good both ways. But since I got clipped in the parking lot and had one of the rear lines tore half way off, and have to buy a new one, I was thinking about putting them back to black. What do you think?

Looks nice with it, but then again you don't see orange C4's everyday either.

There are two appearance traits that I like about the earlier C4s. One is the round tail lights, though I have grown to like the square ones a little better.(Go figure:D) And two, I think the black sidelines look good. And I think they look awesome with your orange vette. I say go for it. But I am sure there are lots of people that dont like it. My brother for instance thinks it makes the car look cheap. But he dont know nothing. :yesnod:

Oh man. Tough call. I'd have to say either way looks cool.

BUT, if you had ZR1 style wheels, or newer style saw blades, I'd say keep the strip body color for sure.

I love that color by the way.

For some reason with those rims...I like the black...but if you changed to GS rims or saw blads...or something else..then I would like the strip body color.

So does this mean you are not going to trade the car for the 6 speed? I think the black looks ok, but I like the orange better. :seeya

I like the mono-tone look. It's more LT1'ish. The black moldings are ehh. :seeya
