I think it looks cool.... but I would NOT do it to one of mine, kinda like it on someone else's. Admire your individuality though!!

Real nice C5 but the rims
I guess if you want to draw attention to youself that will dfinatley do it.
Nicely kept car though. You don't see too many Medium Spiral Grey Metallic Corvettes on the road. Especially with radioactive neon green rims.

THAT'S IT! I couldn't figure for the life of me why it seemed to look familiar. I'm just glad mine isn't permanent like a pace car.
Before I originally dipped it, I traced the graphics in CAD and imported them into the program for my wife's Silhouette vinyl cutter. So each time I just dip over the OEM graphics and cutout new ones to go on top. It always ends up being satin black to match frame, arm, etc.
I don't know if I originally posted, but I cutout some C5 flags in satin black for the center caps, I need to get a picture of them.
Thanks. It definitely took courage to post pictures of the wheels on CF. It's called Hypershift ZTN. It was the most expensive dip's the bike had and while it's cool in it's own right, was my least favorite. On a car at more angles you alot more green than purple, unfortunately on a bike it's the opposite and didn't like having a mostly purple bike.
See above. Make sure you put the graphics on after the dip is dry but BEFORE you apply DipCoat (aka spray wax). For what it's worth, I can get away with right at 1 gallon of dip. Depending how well the coverage is, it's barely enough at the worse. Some dips have TopCoat with the pearl, but for a basic color you can't be $55 for what feels like a whole new bike every 6 months. One thing I have to warn you about is Plasti-Dip screwed up my OEM paint on my OEM fairings on the 3rd dip. DYC couldn't explain it, basically pointed the finger at me....which I guarantee is BS. I prep the same exact way, spray same way every time, even down to the day. Plus as you probably know it's so easy even a moron can do it. My best guess is it's something to do with the plastics since most people dip metal. PM me if you'd like more information or pics.
FINALLY!! I've been waiting for someone to finish it!
