OK, how about painting my entire *** satin black like the C5R?

Seen it done on a red Z06 w/ black rims and it looked good.

I would never do it though.

It's going to have to look better than THAT for me to go thru with it!



But thanks for the effort

Personally, I don't like it and would never do it to my car. But, it's your car and your call. Good luck w/ whatever you decide....

Go for it, will look great.
Mine is at the body shop having the entire rear painted black. Car is QuickSilver, since it's in there for repair from some old bastard that hit me, I figured what the heck. Personally I love it, can't wait to get her home.

Your white butt is lovely. Please leave well enough alone. If you are bored this winter, take up woodshop or something.

I really like the total blackout on TR, and QS, but that lower fascia is just perfect with the white. Another vote for leave it alone.
