Ok--everyone has their opinions and I believe that my latest choice is not going to be very appealing to many people (I read some of the posts to someones car that had some items I liked very much and they were NOT favorable) but I still want to hear it---so let's go easy guys---no fighting..
I like the greenwood ground effects with the racing wing and my current choice is to paint my car MSGM (2003 version as someone once made sure I knew exactly which color I liked--thanks again) with the lettering in black or chrome if there are more suggestions for it (front and back) and a new clear top--mine is peeling (smoke/black). Currently my car is Sebring Silver and black interior clear top. I will probably leave the interior alone but get the seats replaced (the wear on the bolster--actually a hole now) and I was thinking of doing the lettering on the dash the color of the car but not sure there will be much else inside. It will be going to our daugher in 4 years so no real engine mods being done--they will be for the next one I get---just want it to be different.
So???? Go easy boys I'm very sensitive..

Hi Lori,
Well,I am not a fan of the greenwood kits at all,so I can't be super supportive of that.
But,I DO think your color choice and accent ideas are excellent
I also do not mind spoilers either, but the full wings don't work for me.............and I am VERY liberal
I know many feel I have overdone my car,but that's ok,I don't mind
I like it, and the fact that some others do as well, is fine with me
Your choice should also be fine with you also, or don't do it
Good luck with what you decide.........and happy motoring!

Sorry, I just think it detracts from the look of the car. Has that "stuck on " look that I dislike. JMONow, the paint job sounds great. I love MSGM. Not as much as black but still like it quite alot.
And finally, the black lettering would look better than chrome IMO.

The only right answer is for you to go with what you want. Some like them stock, others like them personalized - they are all still Corvettes!

I do not car for the greenwood package, however other pieces like the tiger shark front and rear pieces are very nice in my book. Good selection on paint. I have the letters and decal on my steering wheel and like them. Do things you like and do not worry about others as I have done some things on my Vette I know others do not like

I appreciate alllllll the advise and kind words. I will definitely be taking it slow. I saw the MSGM on someone's car here on the forum and was just totally blown away. I will post as things progress..
Thanks to all
