Absofreakinlutely. Big accents, like on the daytona chargers/murciellago SV/etc, makes the car stand out and look two tone. Stripes, although smaller, make a car stand out too a la Boss302/Mach 1/etc. But all the fairly small and scattered black accents on the C7 make it look like it has a ton of aftermarket parts thrown on it, unpainted. I understand Chevy was trying to show off all the aero highlights of the car, but they lost sight of the idea that some times less is more. Busy, is just plain busy.

I've always thought the best looking hood vents were on the 03-10 Vipers. Aside from being the hood itself(VS an insert like the C7 or gt500) they were body colored and big. This is certainly a step in the right direction to me.

I'd also suggest painting the A pillar, as well as the rear fender vents.

The back, well, with the giant lower valance being black I might leave the tail lights black. Of course ALL the black bits painted body color might be nice too.

I love the GOLD. I have to have it.

Wait, is that supposed to be good or bad?

And just for the record I've got a great Crystal Red vest with Cyber Gray Argyle and a Crystal/Gray bow tie that goes with it!

I'm actually liking it both ways. It's either all the way, front, back and sides (except for headlights) or not at all. Although on the AW I'm not so sure as the contrasting black against the white may by why AW works so well for me on the C7.

RPI, do them all then post in this thread, I think your onto something. And damn, I was hoping no mods this time for my new Corvette.

I just want to see the rear taillight surrounds painted, also maybe some smoked lenses. By the way, the second round of pics make it look much better.

Since this isn't a "commercial post", I don't think I can discuss price, but we'll be posting a "for sale" thread in the new Vendor Section tomorrow......

Wow, thanks Shaka, I love the side vent covered !

I took delivery on a NRB with Brownstone interior on Saturday. SOOOOOOO what do you think! Oh by the way, it looks fabulous.

I told the guys at the shop this morning that we were going to "take is slow" with new product ideas.....but then by 6:30am we already had the hood pad off, the hood scoop out and in the paint booth.....lol..

DocHolliday

Yours does look really nice, but I tend to like the contrast myself.

CRABBYJ

I predict that for 2015 there will be an RPO Code to offer all the vents, all the way around, as body colored. Price: probably in the $2k neighborhood for NC colors. Premium colors?

It could even be offered by GM as "..... Special Edition".

Edit: RPI you are in the lead, go for it. Buy the way I've bought some of your C6 products and IMO they are first rate.

Hood vent looks good, but the rear end is what needs a lot of help, as in Urgent Care. No slacking off here - show us what you can do!

Do you like the "black" look or the body color matching look better? Josh

IMO-I would of left it the way it was along with the addition of the Stinger Decal

Great job!!!
Does anyone knows why car company don't paint their bumper and some of the molding.....it could be a 20 thousand car or 75 thousand car....that's why the majority of my car are black......

I like you are showing options, and I am sure you will get orders but like it better with the cf.

Pro-Hunt

RPI; do some thing with the strip across the grill to make it blend in with the grill. It stands out way too much and doesn't look right/good at all.

The painted vent does look good on the car. I also like the black look so I could go either way.

johnnyvettes

I said that when I first saw the c7 those vents need to be body color ! great work paint the rest of them and the back end .

That looks great!
