Not a big fan of that look. Prefer a more subtle look... like doing just the area around the exhaust black.

Every now and then you'll see a two tone C5 that looks really good!

Been thinking about doing that with my pewter... but the totaly blacked out rear end looks kick *** on yellow IMO.

Hmm...maybe I'd like two toned Vettes better if the two colors kinda faded into each other in a smooth transition instead of that abrupt change.

I LOVE the look of the red/yellow with the rear exhaust surround painted black. I think that it is an awesome contrast, really splits up the rear end a little.

Just blacking out the area around the exhaust makes the butt looks smaller (not a bad thing on a big-butt C5). I might have to do this to my MY coupe.

well, I kinda like the two tone jobs(some of them anyway),cause it looks different and sets them apart.
The c-5 is difficult to two tone because it has no clear lines to break it on

Dude, your car looks killer, but what's the deal with the windows???

Aren't you going to tint them to go with the rest of the car, it would go perfect with all the black you have on her.
