Are you talking about the big butt?

If so, I think I might agree. I wondered if it was to much having the red bottom part. It just might look better with all black rear.

 

Are you talking about the center black stripe on the roof? Carry it down to the hood, splitting it down the center?

 

I like your approach of doing the plasti-dip test to see how things look and then moving forward with the mod the "right" way.

I like the black top and rear fascia. If it were mine, I'd get rid of the black on the rear deck and make the stripes on the rear deck black instead of red. Also, if you're going to stripe the hood and the roof, I think it looks best if it looks like a continuous stripe (even if you're changing stripe color).

The GS stripes look like they're too far back in the fender well - almost like they're sliding back. You might play with bringing them forward and also bringing the hood stripes down onto the front fascia a bit.

 

 

LOL......I know, I know.

I have to try that, but I'm afraid it might scrape to much on the bad roads I have to drive on occasion.

They really do look better lowered.

 

Sorry....me no like. Waaaaay too much. You obviously did a good job though. Hats off to the skillz.

 

Liking it.......

 

dam you went all out, looks good

 

Yeah kind of split it all the way down to pinstripe size like you did on the back.

 

OK, here goes:

Likes: I like the changes you did to the center caps and the calipers. And, I do like the front vent treatment as well as the hashmarks, although they do seem to be a bit far back on the fender. The rear fascia is OK, but would look better IMO if it were totally blacked out instead of leaving the lower vent portion red.

Dislikes: Just not feeling the front stripes, roof stripes, and the rear deck stripes.

But I will say it is a different approach to making the car looks different than all the rest and for that, you get a .

 

I like it all even the change in stripe color, just not the GS stripes. I like symmetry

 

I'm going to plasti-dip my windshield tonight. yeah I live on the edge.


I really like the look Torch. It all looks really nice. I haven't seen that kind of design on the trunk/rear bumper before, is that an original idea?

 

Excellent execution of a terrible design.

 

Hmmm now I just wanna spray paint my whole car black to see how it would look.

 

I have to warn you. Their are some things you can't Dip. I don't think this stuff works good as window tint.

And don't Dip your dog. Mine wasn't very happy with me.

I guess it's original. I don't really know.

I do know why it looks the way it does. The rear deck was originally going to be mostly black. I was going to start where the quarter fenders meet the roof pillar. There is a curved body seam that starts by the roof pillar and comes back along the trunk. I was going to make that my line and then most of the trunk would have been black. I still think that might look best.

But then I saw the trunk has a body contour molded into it that comes off at the base of the roof pillar and tapers back to the rear of the car. I know you have seen it. It is slightly raised. I thought that might look interesting if I followed that line with the black. And that is why the top of the deck looks the way it does. I can always come back and add more black to fill out the complete trunk.

And the reason the two red stripes stop where they do on the butt.....I'm lazy! I didn't want to try and tape the edges of the stripes through the indented Corvette logo. I figured it was simpler to stop above the Corvette letters and it would still give me an idea of how it was going to look. I think the two stripes do need to come on down to the tag, or further.

And the GS stripes....might be to far back. I'm not sure. But I wanted them to look more racey.? So I made them wider at the top by the hood and tapered them down as they get closer to the wheel opening. I might try moving them forward a bit and see. But I do like the tapered look better then the square type.

The different options can make one......

Thanks for all the input so far.

I'll be doing the hood again Sunday I think.

 

I can appreciate the time and effort spent to do that. However, I personally think it looks extremely tacky---like something a teenager would do to his Civic. Keep it clean and classy.

 

i think i just puked in my mouth oh and lower that 4x4

 

Took me a couple of looks but I like it now. I think the thing that looks odd to me is the dip in the middle of the back where the stripes continue off the trunk and down over the vertical part of the rear bumper. To me it would have looked better to end the stripes up top like hte Z16's do (I think) and also to complete the black color on the entire backend - the low part around the exhaust. The blackouts around the fog lamp area are great!

Just my opinion and we know how those are

to you for being original and trying something different!

 

Well said

 

Very creative...I'm not going to say I like this and don't like that like the others...my interpretation is you weren't looking for that kind of response. What you did accomplish: this product is way more versatile than any of us thought, and that is a major contribution to this forum....your talent and imagination is hard to match. You wouldn't be left-handed would you?

Here's the 2012 Boss 302 similar paint scheme design approach....also one badass 444hp car!
