I love black cars.... just as long as someone else owns it and has to keep it clean

Great looking Vette.

Black, top down vert, looks great! Love the red stripe not over the bumper. Texas plates even better.

That really looks good.
I ponder whether red calipers will increase the car's beauty.
Really super.

You are right, red calipers would be much better, however the car came with black and I don't want to go through the expense to change them. Thanks for your reply!

I am normally not a big fan of stripes and stingers, but in your case it really works well with the interior color. Not only do I like your color scheme but I would consider the same combo for a future new vette. Love it! Gorgeous!!!
