Not a fan of the hash marks but the wheels and Blackbird stripes look great... The Blackbird stripes would look a little better if the calipers were red so there would be a theme...

Car looks damn sexy though!

Wheels & Blackbird stripes, ...
Grand Sport stripes should stay with the Corvette, ..., or at least the Chevrolets.
And agreed on the color scheme. Stay the course.
Does look good tho!

But you gotta give him credit for bein different!

I think it looks awesome. Just as said above, ditch the hash marks and paint the calipers!

the wheels and stance look great.

the red accents don't look so clean though, and the GS stripes look plain terrible.

at first i wasnt diggin the hash marks and i usually really like hash, but im starting to like it more, but maybe the ram air stripes over the hood/trunk would have looked better, would have given something to the back too.

I think it looks good. I'm not a huge fan of those wheels, but they look good on the car. I think the GS stripes and the BB stripes would look better together if you add more red detail. Everything seems to get lost and the stripes look as if they are out of place with the rest of the vehicle. Try to decide if you want to stay subtle (BB Stripes only) or if you want to go more "over the edge" and add the red calipers and maybe a few other small red details to bring a balance to the two sets of stripes.
