I'd love to see it in the sunshine, and I like the crossed flags on the hood. Enjoy. It'll stand out at a car show and get your C6 noticed. Looks good.

I'd like to see better pics before I give an opinion. These pics make it look like you have dried wax on it.

Can't tell much from these pics...but changing out your stock wheels and tires will change the look of your car immediately.

I am unable to see the true effect with the quality of the photo. When you have time, perhaps you could post a better photo.

I'm sure it looks really nice in person, kind of like a pearl effect. The flags on the hood kill it for me though. It's definitely unique, congrats, and enjoy.

An Internet forum is exactly the place where opinions should be expressed. You asked so I'll be brutally honest...first, I'll give you an "A" for effort and striving for distinction.

I realize those photos don't show the workmanship well but I'm sorry, based on what I could tell from the photos I don't like it at all. The photos make it look like you waxed the car but forgot to buff off all the wax. I realize ghost flames are just that...'ghost like' but on a silver car they're just lost. Maybe post some better images that show the detail better and I might feel differently.

Everyone has different likes and dislikes and when all is said and done, my opinion doesn't matter. The only important thing is whether you like it!
