Calipers and graphics ...
Here's the latest photochop version ... I'm getting close ... so close.
I'm trying not to paint ... I can get the 'B' column, rocker panel and vent, all done in a 7 yr. high grade, glossy vinyl. So let's hear it ... <putting on flame suit>
***EDIT*** THANKS FOR ALL THE RESPONSES!
OKay ... here's without the rocker panel ...

I like it, except for the rocker panel. You should leave that alone. The black B pillar and vent, the way you photoshopped it, would look unique and tasteful. Its a matter of modifying without destroying the overall look of the vette. You don't want it to look as if you've been adding body panels from another vette. Do the pillars and the vent and stop there.

I think, the rocker panel looks like when a ricer puts on a body kit and doesn't paint it. I can live with the pillars and the vent. But the black rocker panel and yellow calipers on a grey car, that's not good for anybody. Obviously my opinion only, but there it is.

Sorry, don't care for the black areas or the yellow caliper color. Its just my opinion - its your car and you have to do what you like. I am a fan of red calipers on the color of your car.

The graphics would be easier to view if you panned out a little. It has possiblities. I would not cut around the door. either stay below the door or smooth out the line on or below the door. It looks choppy as you have it.

I like the calipers and the cove....but along the bottom just think what it will look like when it gets nicked up by stones....it will stand out like a sore thumb.
Might look good when it goes on but what about after a year or two
