Dan,
Got this in an email. Seems to suit the situation.

Hang in there. I'm with the rest of the guys who think that as long as you and your lady like it, that's all that counts. (No matter what someone else here thinks I mean.)

Say Dan. I too am using gold to trim my car. Do you plate all your parts or can you buy gold parts somewhere.

been around the show scene for years,,,never seen a car with gold plate age well at all. the plating always wears and just looks like crap. Hope they have a better process. Seriously,, it doesnt matter what one does to THEIR car, its not yours, so dont diss him for his tastes...
I have a few things most dont care for on my car,, but I dont want to drive a car that looks like every other red c5 coupe....

but, my opinion is this. its a vette , the mods should be aimed at performance,,,,,not just bling. While some performaance oriented mods ( like ground effect and wings) may or may not add performace,,,at least they are intended too....the gold,, well it belongs on a cadilac,,,thats my opinion....


hey, it does look good for what you have ...she likes it,, you get peace at home.........

I think that is one of the tackiest and most hideous sets of modifications I have ever seen on any car, but if you like it more power to you.

Black and Gold is and was very 70's remember the Firebirds and Trans Ams and we also know how retro is in HHR's, PT loosers, 300m's, etc - this guy is just ahead of the game. i say good for you as long as you like it not my taste but hey, lots don't like my car and lot's do including me. as to you immature boneheads keep the crappy comments to yourself.

Ah, you beat me to it. I have to admit, this is a little over the top for my taste, but I certainly respect the time, effort, and $$$ you've put in to personalize your car.

I'd cruise with you any time.

Don't worry about Brett01Z06. On a public forum there's always some middle school internet tough guy trying to compensate for all of the times he's rubbed one out to the JC Penney underwear ads in the Sunday paper.

I think it looks good

My only obsevation is the steering wheel looks a little old fashioned for such a modern car as a C5. It looks more like something you would put in a Model b roadster!

I purchased a brush plating machine, and have been doing it myself, except for the wheels.
