Default Flat Black?

Anyone have the link or pics of the flat back C5? Think it was from a tuner in Europe?

I seen a pic a while back of a FRC in the same color. I wonder how hard it is to maintain.

Looks like some Vette in primer to me. I don't get it. It needs a paint job.

It's just another "mod" to someone's taste -- or maybe a Vette version of the current "rat rod" craze. Regardless, this bad boy cries out for a "STEALTH" vanity plate.

Yup....that was the one. Some tuner in Germany I believe. Had a window sticker that said "Intense Corvettes" or "Insane Corvettes" cannot remember which. Looks much better on the FRC!

Anyway, thanks to 90lxstang for putting up what you had...

Needs dark blood-red pinstriping. Wasn't there some rockstar who had a C5 (z06?) that was all flat black with red pinstriping? Looked awesome.
