Car looks great. I think doing the things that most people don't like is fun.
It's always funny hearing the comments at a car show when people don't know your the owner of the car.

Looks great !

Not for everyone, but I like it. Only thing I would add would be some glossy black stripes (hood, roof, trunk) just to break it up a bit.

I was considering doing this to a Z that I was buying salvage. Deal fell thru but that second set of photos sold it for me. Looks bad ***. Has to be clean so it doesn't look cheap. When I was 16 this is what everyones car looks like in Hs only we did it w/ a spray can!

I like the concept, I agree with some gloss striping and hate the headlights.

I like the "sinister" look. Because the pictures are from a cell phone it's hard to tell of the true quality. Has it been hit with a couple coats of clear? If not that will make a big difference. Also allows you to apply wax.

Looks Nice and Mean.

The RAM SRT-10 is nice also.

Right before I bought my vette I was deciding on buying either a "sport-truck" or sportscar. Ended up with a vette because of size, etc. I still think they are nice though.

Looks like a worn out Vette in need of paint and rims. The headlights look cheap and out of place.

First, I would not do this to my vette. I prefer a bad azz metallic shine.

Having said that, I think it looks cool in a "I'm a bad azz that does track events and have a unique sinister vette" type of thing. (if that makes sense)

I would have done a BSM delete.

I would tint your windows, top of the windshield dark and low as well, tint the front headlights too, and look into some kind of stripes.

as for the tint, I don't think there is a matte tint, but you do need tint.


Also, I hope you have LT headers, B&B bullets to make that bad boy sound sinister as well........

At the end of the day, if you're happy that's what counts

My personal preference is to NOT do what you've done. If I wanted the black or blacked out look it would have been shiney...but as the saying goes..."whatever blows up your dress"

Default it's yours

You own the car and paid to have it done. As long as you enjoy that's all that counts.

It looks like something a highschool kid with rice dreams would putter around in. I would expect a fart can, gutted interior, obnoxious wing, terrible body kit, and some stickers to be in its future.

but..everyone has opinions. Enjoy!
