i think that the big arrow lookin thing down the front is a little much. but the fog and driving lights look very good. other than it looks great, the rims compliment everything well too. good job!

I'm not feeling the silver in the foglight/turn signal/brake vents, but the rest is
Have considered doing the silver on the back myself (goes with the Blackbird stripes)

ok just opinions...., i like the stripe(maybe a little wide), tonuea(sp?) cover, and CE bumper style. i dont care for the foglight, driving light accents or the wheels ( i can't stand rivets. w/o rivets it would look good) but honestly i think that you tied your car together really well and went through a lot of planning/thought to get it where it is now and thats really good. you have a good looking car and if you're happy with it, good thing not everyone has to be..

I'm not a big fan of the tonneau. I also think that the point of the stripe takes away from the front of the car. But overall I think it looks real good!

Since you're asking opinions.

I love the silver rimmed fog ligths. Looks awesome. The hood paint is okay, but it's definitely missing something. Maybe some ram-air decals or a pontiac arrow on the front to break up all that silver (which really detracts from the lines of the ram-air hood). A little something there could really turn the car around.

I dislike the silver on the rear spoiler. I'd ditch that and ditch the silver on the bumper. overall looks real good tho.

Damn thats a hot T/A.

Im not a big fan of the H.O. hood, but it looks good with the silver paint in the middle. Its good to be unique and your car is tastefully done. My last T/A was black with black Z06 motorsports and it looked really mean like yours.

Those black C6 wheels are 18x8.5"s right? I really wanted to get those, but need at least a 10.5" wheel.

That tonneau cover would look great, on the Batmobile!!

No, really, it is a nice looking car. Not my personal taste though.

The real question is: Do you like it???

A bit towards the ricey side if you ask me, no insult intended. Only thing I think it would take to bring it back is to ditch the tonneau cover.
Sweet looking ride...

The only thing I would change would be how silver color ends at the front bumper. Instead of being pointy I would make it a little more round. Something like this

I agree with dopefed. I really like the car but the point makes it look like a birds beak. The point doesn't flow with the rest of the car. The wheels and the silver trim look great.

you either need a black stripe down the middle, or the traditional stripes on the scoops.

I like what you've got going on, but I have to agree with the point on the front of the stripe... I did the exact same stripe you did, with the exact same hood... but I rounded mine off in the front. CLICK HERE

I'd probably follow the lines of the inlets on the front (which would pull back the silver a bit, and add more curve like Dopefed suggested), add something to break up the silver (i.e. hp rating or blackhawk stripes), and make the spoiler black. Also, the silver on the tonneau is faded to black, whereas the silver on the hood has an accent stripe. I'd redo the tonneau to match the hood.

Another option would be to do a pheonix in the inlet of the hood, run silver stripes down each scoop (black in the middle), and paint the tonneau how I already said - that would add to the continuity of the look (which you have obviously spent much time and thought on). Overall, I like the effect - it's unique but well done .
