OK, here's something I have been wondering about for a while. Has anyone ever painted the rear of their C5 black like the C5R's? Has anyone ever seen that done to a C5?

I'm just wondering how it might look on a street car without all the other C5R body mods...........

I've seen the lower portion blacked out, but not the entire rear end. However, it may look good, depending on the color of the car.
