Go ahead.......you know you want to finish that phrase!

I cut out some C5 flags in satin black for the center caps and put them on late last night.

And sunglasses. Or maybe a welding helmet. I really like the gray car, though.

Now that looks "special". Add a loud exhaust to they can hear you just in case they are blind and can't see you.

I did consider grabbing my king size sharpie for the lugs.

Thanks, I think!? I had the dip laying around and figured why not, I have odd taste in colors although this one takes the cake. Every time I see the car, I giggle because of dumb it looks.

I do drive it daily and definitely have been getting stares and I'm pretty positive they probably follow up with some WTF comments, haha.

My wife came in as I was spraying the final coats and said "are you serious?!" Followed by "are those wheels for the vette that you drive on everyday?!" And then "please tell me that's plasti-dip". I tried to reason with her saying how at least no one can see her through the dark windows, but she came back with "true, but I don't want anyone to see me get out of it!"

As someone told me.....not all attention is good attention. Pretty much spot on.

I'd like to say yes and several people I sent pics to asked if I photoshopped it... but I really did do it.

So far between here, friends, family.... only one has liked it, I can't believe! Haha...Granted I don't have any import friends either.

Car itself looks very good - wheels though are not to my taste. But if you like them, that’s cool. People will definitely see you coming down the road.

Thanks. Can't say it's totally my tastes or even thought i'd love it, but do think MSG would be one of the only colors that would maybe look "okay" at best.

Isn't it obvious?? I have no life! Honestly, just because already had dip on hand and just got done dipping the busa last weekend. I planned to use it for the busa wheels when it was Avalanche Grey, but never got around to doing it.

While this was first time I ever dipped wheels, I always have done the Hayabusa prior. BTW other than taking the bike apart, it's easier to dip it with the gun versus rattle cans for wheels.

Seems like every 6 months it changes color..... it's on dip #7 as of last week.

I have 5% tint so no worry about being seen. One thing I did think of while driving today was I may be giving Corvette's a bad name.
