Not wild about the Corvette windshield banner or the side flames, but the rest looks good. And yes, I know I have a windshield banner on my car but it came with the optional graphics package that was on the car.

I'll never understand flames. The 80's are over folks.
There is no color that defines gender even pink. Like the saying go's
" ONLY REAL MEN CAN WEAR PINK " and alot of them do

Thanks I'll give it some thought. Like I said right now it is just a cosmetic cover up.

I would try to find some factory BSM. It will probably be wider than the aftermarket that was on there and should cover up your problem areas. JMO

Not a fan of flames on a Vette. Great looking car ex-flames.

Not gaudy enough in my opinion. Needs some murals on the hood and such. Don't forget some louvers for the rear windshield and the taillights. Add some decorative pin striping and a wing too. Maybe some curb feelers and some blue fog lights?

Now on your Camaro, that black goes well with the yellow and that type of effect is fine. But the color of the flames on the Vette just are not going to get it.

Nice computer rendering of a camaro.

Now on the C5 you would be surprised that the price to repaint your doors wouldn't be that exspensive.

i also agree, but that is my taste, its yours. you do what you like and what makes you happy and proud to show it off. when you ask a question as you adid, you will get about as many different opinions as people who respond (and you know what they say about opinions)
