Hugger Orange?
Has anyone ever seen a Hugger Orange C4. I was thinking that that would be a bad azz cobo with black gs rims and black out lights. Maybe a Black gs strip down the middle. Has anyone done this. How hard is a complete color change.

Well, if you want the complete paint change to go good, you'd want to strip the car down so they can get all the sills, and underparts...
I hope your current interior is black. The combo looks pretty good. I've never seen it on a vette, but i have on 68 Camero, and Chevelle. Very rare, and nice looking. I've never liked black wheels myself. They just look dirty, but so do my brake dust covered silver wheels. To each their own.
My car has a customer paint, but the previous owner didn't strip the interior so the sills are the original ultra dark metallic blue. It's actually a nice contrast, but mostly looks black. The orange would work with black or tan interior, but black would be best. Grey/blue/white/red would look really bad. It'll cost about $1800 to redo the interior to a different color. Plan on $8000ish for a really good paint job. If you're gonna do it, do it right.
Good luck, it sounds like it would be a real head turner.

I think I'd like, wait I KNOW I'd like the Hugger Orange, but the black GS Stripe? :nonod:
Orange looks better, IMO, with a white stripe, so if you're going to stripe it, use white. :yesnod:
EDIT: Use stock (not chrome or polished) ZR1 rims. It would be soooooo beautiful like that. The black would be a little over the top IMO on the orange.

Re: Hugger Orange? (Yellow Fever)
I think there is a member that has an orange C4. I'm surprized he hasn't posted to this thread yet.
I like my orange, it looks really great when it is polished out. Here is a recent pic of it. This is the best orange I could find for it.

I dunno....with the white stripe...might look like a "creamsicle". :lol:
Personally...i LOVE the idea of the black stripe and wheels...maybe even hashs. Can't have too much [i]BLACK!i]
...but what else would you expect out of me? :lol:
