What might look really cool would be a Cincinnati Bengels type paint scheme. That's what reminded me of at first glance.

Thanks for the replies! I knew this would grab a bit of attention lol. I figured 97, didnt get a bad price, wanted a way to freshen up a "plain" car and.....before I got bored with it. It is interesting the reactions I get when out and about from "wow" and "sic dude" to turning their head completely the other way to pretend to have never seen it Even one guy trying to keep up in his pick me up flashing a camera, trying to stay in his own lane and giving thumbs up at same time...very scary. Just wanted to get the reaction of other vette owners now
