Thanks for all of the great suggestions. I am still trying to pull some creativity out of my brain. I would rather just replace the brakes. We are busy now for the next couple of weeks, maybe by then I will have an idea of what I think looks good.

That looks absolutely awesome. Did you cut that on some type of a laser or cutting table? What kind of chrome material is that? I have been in the printing business for over 50 years and the wheels are turning in my head as to how we would reproduce something like that in our shop. That is really beautiful work.

Try using Microsoft Co-Pilot. Just drop an image and say "change this image to show <insert your intent>". It's free and you have 5 image options per session. Use the word "image" vs. "picture"--Co Pilot seems to work faster that way.

There's a guy in our Corvette club who has your EXACT front end. And it's Rapid Blue, too.

Thanks, I know how to do that I have been using GEMINI. I just don't know how to select the gloss black panel in the front of all that gloss black. I am thinking of outlining it with tape and I think it will be easier to outline with software. Maybe there is a better way?
