So, I decided to stick with a Corvette color, and settled on Med. Spiral Gray Metalic. I've always loved that color and I think it's just subtle enough to pop against the pewter.

Whatcha think boys and girls? (If you don't like it, that's okay. But, please be nice)

Out of Fxxk'n site!!!!! Tigers are the sharpest looking asses around. Reminds me of an old Cobra Daytona *** end. Love it!!!!!!!
Nice CORVETTE!!!
