To busy

You already have a lot of black & white going on as it is. One more element and I think you cross the line from good taste to bad.

It is too distracting and takes away from the lines of the Vette.

Well, at first glance your wheels look kinda 60ish to my old brain. The graphic looks,well, I'll withhold my opinion, and just say that it "adds nothing" to the car and may detract.

You know, if you really really really like side graphics I'd suggest the new Camaro. It looks to me about as bad as a car can right from the factory so some graphics would most likely improve it. The vette looks greats as is right from the factory.

As long as you asked, I don't really care for it. The most important thing though, is that you like it.

Not my "cup of tea" but hey, its yours to do with as you want. Maybe tone down the white at the end to more closely blend in to the AW would help it seem more a part of the overall scheme and not just an add on. good luck - let us know what you end up with.

If it's a fade on a decal the white will turn yellowish if the company uses low quality vinyl. The sides of the vinyl always get that seem residue as well.
If it's what you want go for it!

your general idea shows promise, don't give up keep trying

soften the transition

narrow to wide

round it out some

black out the side markers


there is something there in your idea, keep digging

don't limit it to the door

work the bottom line on the sides

loose the decal

loose the fuel door
put in some horizontal lines
round the scoop lines

It would really help if you could post a picture of your Vette with and without the graphics/decal.

I've seen this style decal on this forum before, and the real thing is not outrageous looking at all. I think the photoshopped picture is making it look at lot more extreme than it really is.

A definite no to the decal. If you were going to do it it would have to be painted by a first rate body shop.
I'm not sure it enhances the look though.
Car is sharp looking as is.

I would do it! Why not. You can always take it off. It makes it look unique. Try it and if you don't like it, pull it off. No harm done.

I think it would look GREAT with 12" CAMARO letters on the windshield and a 36" Chevy Emblem in the middle of the back window. Spinners and tire flyes will compliment the entire look.
