I kind of like it. It reminds me of some of the color schemes in the late 70s and early 80s. I would do the black part of the rear bumper in red, too.

Not bad. However, if you go on to do this make sure the side skirts are red as well.

if you're going for the C7.R look, the paint comes up too high on the rear quarter, the angle is too steep and should be more parallel to the ground.

Nice getting all the feedback. To Thunder22's point, it's true that the C7.R look is different on the rear, but I'm not trying to exactly mimic it. For those that said "Nooooooooooo", perhaps something a little less red? For the C7.R, the black doesn't draw attention to itself. The yellow with black bottom works well. Perhaps more difficult to pull off the same thing with a white C7. Still, I could go with a light grey or silver for something a little less attention grabbing.

Not bad looking...I love red accents but the minute I saw the car the first thing that popped in my mind is the flag of Poland!!!

Polish Corvette?

I like the grey on the bottom better than the red. The red was only a couple of steps away from being this:




Maybe it's the black border? Every time someone pinstripes the angles on a C7 I have the same reaction.
