I have an '89 vert with new dark red paint (not sure of the name of the factory color) and a new black top. Just polished up the sawblades and repainted the cutouts in the wheels (much patience required). Put new fuel door and hood emblems on. Now I can't stop looking at it, and I think my wife is getting jealous.

I love the way my polo green 92 looks with the chrome ZR1s! But I haven't seen a Vette yet that I didn't like!
