My photochop skills are horrible, another member did it for me and I liked it! It actually turned out just how i hoped, and they look 100% better than black inserts I think...

I am going to post some quotes from local forum members, you will get a kick!

"you would be in love with your car all over again


I hate corvette owners--they think they are the ****.

you drive a mass produced sports car that costs less than an acura RL (which personally I'd rather drive). thats the same thing as driving a 350z/rx-8/TT/ whatever. You ARE NOT HOT ****.

the corvette name has significantly lost its original reputation IMO"


"Car is clean. Its a Corvette they are a dime a dozen, I doubt anyone "drools" over it.

p.s. get new wheels."

Thanks guys, the local people are so funny here. This kid is trying to tell me his Neon srt4 is worth more than my car, and is way nicer looking. I just laughed, they are driving me crazy though due to lack of intelligence!

I like those wheels on the Vette. Especially with the inserts. Good job.

Personally, I was not a fan of that particular wheel style, but with the added color it really improves the look, and ties the car together. Great Job!
