Default blacked out Vette in progress;)

Ok guys i've been saying i was gonna get them up and finally got the chance to load 'em. I still haven't gotten the car lowered or tinted as i had intended but i will get that done eventually. I've been busy with my truck lately. Tails are tinted but i couldn't go any darker because it's illegal in MN and they are already harder to see at night and day. Also the tails react to flash or light alot so when it hits them right they look to not be tinted. In low light they look really smoked. Tint and a lowering will help a ton. I know alot of people don't care for the Wagon Wheels but in black i love 'em:devil: None of the pictures have been touched with photoshop, straight from the camera. Some are good, some are crap I added HID's to it as well. A Low/fog combo. In the pics the lows look really blue but in person they aren't even close to that blue. I'm assuming the camera just picked up the blue tint more. The wheels i shot myself ~Cole~

Car looks awesome! I have black so of course to me black is the only color. The wagon wheels painted look fabulous. The only thing I dislike, the side body moldings.

Nice...I have wagons for winter. Now im going to paint them black so i can avoid the stock look. good call!

you should also paint the front plate holder bloss black to match the body.

^^^ good call on the plate surround i plan on it this next winter. Car is getting a full repaint and BSM removed and plate surround gloss to match. What you can't see much of in the pics is the previous owner wasn't as picky about how the car is maintained. Not nearly as much as me at least. So the nose, rockers, mirrors and such are full of rock knicks The plate surround was thrown on because i got pulled over for no plate and didn't want it wide open up there. Thanks for all the comments guys i appreciate it. I really thought i was gonna get alot of hate on the wagons
