Black w/ Silver rear (pic)
Well for those interested while I was getting her fixed after the last idiot backed into me I had them paint the rear QS.
Personaly I thought it was kinda bright at first and took away some of the look of a fat *** end (which I liked) but I'm starting to like it.
Only downside really is now the rear doesn't get all grey from road grim it gets black from road crap.

It's unique. I think it might look better if you add some more silver elsewhere, like in the coves would be cool, just to tie it all together

Sorry,but it doesn't work for me. Looks out of place with the rest of the car.
You do need to lower the car a lot!

Definitely unique, and I agree with maybe another location with some silver would tie it together better. I tell ya what if the C5r had come that way no one would think it was weird I guarantee that.
G'luck

I think if you painted the rest of the car to match the rear end, it would work

It sounds like your trying to talk yourself into liking it!
It's your car! Hope you don't decide to sell anytime soon, that will be a hard sell. You may have to repaint in order to sell.

I think you should repaint it black again, looks like you took the back bumper of a silver one and put it on yours

I agree about the "you like it and that's all that matters" bit but truth of the matter is we do up our cars not just for ourselves but to get kudos from other folks as well, so what others think also matters to some extent. I much like a few other guys don't like it at all despite the love we share for this car. Please change the colour back or do something else to compliment the rear end. Peace!!!!!

It sounds like it needs to grow on you, but looks as if it may not..
I'd paint it Black, it looks like you have parts from a different car , and you are waiting for paint.
