Just gotta separate myself from all those people with black cars who just paint their wheels black and that's it.
There's an FRC near me...stock car with exhaust and some C5 Z06 wheels he painted black. Everyone is always saying, "dude I saw you...your car sounded different though".... I'm like, yeah, cause it wasn't me and the dude has half the hp I have, an ebay ching chong exhaust, different wheels, no widebody, it's not a z06, it sure as hell isn't supercharged, etc....
Now...no one will mistake me for anyone else...
I need my individuality...lol.

That is seriously beautiful. Wrap/paint/??
New look as of two days ago. No more murrrdahhh! Too many murdered cars...it's a good look, but black is a pain.
This is satin white pearl...VERY hard to capture via camera. Pics just do this color and finish no justice. I'm working with my camera to figure out how to get it...it's crazy. Looks badass in person...people stop me 4x more than they did when it was black.

Of all the times ive seen that picture, I've never noticed that the door handles were shaved! I LOVE it! Subtle mods like that pieced together right make a nice clean amazing car! I'm more of a subtle low key mod kinda guy instead of bolt and stick on nick/knacks like those silly chrome fins on the side coves and chrome tail light covers
PS the gas cap is on the other side... How'd ya know its shaved too, and if so how do you fill it up?

Although I am near 90% complete, this was my ultimate goal and endstate in appearance. I designed everything in Photoshop and Illustrator as you see in this photo below before one graphic was ever printed.
This is how my end result is/was supposed to look.
What I have yet to complete: FIKSE or CCW Wheels, Le Mans Rear Wing.

And thanks for that Neil! This is one of my favorite pics. A really great looking vette posed in perfect lighting to make it really pop. I'm not a big fan of black wheels but that combination of black and chrome with your pewter vette is very pleasing to the eye. Can't wait to see the new photos when you get them done.
