This is a re-post from LS1.com (Original Post)


I think it like it.

Im just bored with my black car... So im looking for options.

For the record:
This is NOT my car,
and
This IS photoshopped


If someone feels like re-doing this is a few different colors, Id appreciate it.

ie, yellow, green, blue, silver, gold, etc.

The red on the wheels is too much.

In these pics the orange flows with the body color, in your photoshop the red really contrasts with the black. Having that much red on the car makes it really busy imo.

to be honest, i actually really like the way it looks. i dont think its too much at all, especially with some
nice tint all the way around, and all side molding removed, and trans am emblems removed. if anything,
id change out the front bird to one that has a black interior/red exterior, for a more subtle look. like this
from emblempros....

But i think it looks quite mean!

personally i think the black TA with the TTMs with the red lips...looks great! It's out of the norm and doesn't go over the top. I think a 18" wheel however might make it look a bit better. I think 17" wheels on our cars look great but at some angles look a bit small. My 17" TT2s on moeTAWS6's car looked TINY! But on my car looked decent. I think an 18" wheel with the lips painted that red to match the other accents would look BALLIN!

Like I said, that wasnt my car.

but i agree, I like 17" TT2s but I think C5Zs look dumb in 17"s

I have C5Zs

And ill have 18" all around.

18 x 10.5" Front

18 x 12.5" Rear


I think this could look pretty good.

I realize what your saying, buy i think its partially because compared to vette
owners, the average F-bod owner cant afford a $10k set of wheels, so you dont
see them much.
