Urban camoflage, to throw off the cops when speeding. They won't know which direction you are traveling.

The emblem on the rear is also off -center about 1/2",obviously to match the offset of the pipes.
But with that fancy paint job,who's gonna notice a little detail like that?

Stupidity comes in all forms. I love the way they mirrored the image for the other side instead of making the design to say z06 on the drivers side as well, it says jibberish. And the fact it's not a z06 doesn't help them out.
