Default Darth Vader borrowed my C5!

I actually saw a couple at carlisle and they looked really mean, so I joined the bandwagon. Notice I still haven't taken the carlisle sticker off, maybe tomorrow. My new exhaust should be getting here soon too.

Looks great. I often thought of blacking everything out on mine. Getting it painted more like a satin black, not real shiny, with rims to match and tint as dark as you can get it. I would never do it, I love the Vette the way it is. I really like black wheels! That mod may be in my future.

If you do take the sticker off tomorrow, make sure that it's sitting in the shade for a while before you attempt to peel it off. My parents' sticker required half a bottle of WD40 to remove the adhesive because it was sitting in the sun all morning. Mine was in the cool, dark garage and it peeled right off. FWIW.
