Tough call. I think lighter color accent stripes would work better, perhaps silver or even red as with the 96 Grand Sport but if you want to coordinate it with the bottom black-out on the rear then black would be the color. If YOU like it, go for it!

I like the blacked out rear end, but not much on the hash marks.

:iagree: and I'd leave the tail lights alone too, but the painted rear looks :cool:

With the black rims, the blackouts wouldn't look too bad, & the painted rear would look pretty good (only the bottom though). I personally hate the stripes though (or any stripes on a vette)....But as others have said, it only matters what you like! :chevy

The blacked out rear portion is nice - not a fan of the light blackouts though. They're just dangerous and cheap looking.
Hash marks are a no no. They look pretty gay. Whenever I see them, I think "GS wannabe" too.

I'm kind of on the fence. Try toning down the high gloss black a little bit.

The black on the rear end is good, but I agree, I wouldn't put the hash marks on.

Re: What do you guys think????????????????? (theblackvette)
I totaly agree on that photo shop school thing....what i did was i took a large piece of paper and outlined the buttom rear end.....and i am going to go to a sign shop and ask if they can make a glossy black decal the same size as the outline.....i hope it will work....(cause i don't really want to paint the rear....yet)
