Default Bloody Fish

Just a touch of red nail polish adds a little color to match the calipers.
If it catches on GM may bring it out as the Steve Irwin edition. Just don’t expect a weighty keychain.
Shying away from any controversy, I call it red tide invades the Blue Laguna.

I don't think you have to worry about it catching on.

I think it looks great and it can always be removed with nail polish remover.

Very nice indeed. You scared me at first. I thought you were going to say that in removing the fish you scratched your car. Hence the remark "bloody".

Fish? We don't need no stinkin' fish!

First thing I needed to do to my car was remove those stickers.
