Default [NEW DESIGN] Vette Graphics ..watcha think?

I've been playing with some new designs for the ILLUSION Vette Graphics line. I'm trying to incorporate the C5-R look on the rear with the lower fascia in the body color.

Understand this is NOT the final product ,just a Photoshop image ( provided by CF member Rockin C5) to give you an idea of what I'm lookin to do. The black will be a matte flat black and the body color will be visible through the open areas.

I may offer this in a carbon fibre, Red and Black matte.

Watcha' think ....possibilities

Personally I like it the way you had it before, but there may be others that want most of the back end blacked out.

My plate, my exhaust, my house, something different about my car. Someone here on the forum painted the whole rear of his yellow car black, looked pretty good.

I looked on the web site and could not find them, I like black on a quicksilver. That would go well with my new BB exhaust.

I think both look terrible! Luckily, I can say that since its just a photochop and its not actually on your vette. For your color, I think a charcoal color or dull black would best. Subtle but attractive. Both of those photochops, IMHO, stand out too much and border on riceritis.
