Default Spring Break Mods!!!

So my week off of school was not spent going to parties or waking up with a huge "headache". Instead I decided to do some mods to my vette. I took the car to a new local shop and had the targa top and "halo" wrapped with a gloss black wrap. I think the new shop did an amazing job and I love the look. (when I got the car it the halo was already painted black, but not a very good job.) And second mod is plasti dip to the front bumper. Got the idea from Qwik01. All I can say is that plasi dip is not my friend.

Looks good. The black halo and dark tinted windows are a good combination. Really make it look like a cockpit.

Very nice.....although to be honest when I read the title I was looking forward to "Girls Gone Wild" Corvette style.

I had my halo painted black this week too! I also had the shop sand a clear coat my lexan top, I love the look. Nice work! More shots of the front would be nice.
