Here's the only pic I have. I ordered tail light blackouts and they should be here soon. I just tinted the front side markers yesterday too.



Here's a (albeit terribly filmed) video since I don't have many pics:

I'm buying a new camera in the next few days and I'll definitley get some pics. Probably this weekend.

P.S. I turn 21 in 2 hours!

Edit: Here's a much better video to see the car:

Yeah I may powder coat the wheels when I need new tires. All lights are blacked out even side markers. Just used night shade and clear coat. Even painting Z06 screens black.

Black is a bitch to keep clean, but ever so pretty. At night I get compliments that my car looks like the bat mobile when parked in a dim lit parking lot.

The hood ran me $750 shipped. That was actually down about $150, but still paying the Vette tax.

Tails are darker than the pic makes them look. The rear side markers are tinted as well. I need to black out the windows. Thought about tinting the front marker lights but idk if that would look good.

It does. If I had a camera I would throw some pics up. How dark are the tails? Can you still easily see the lights during the day? I work in a city where they seem to care a lot about that, but I have the blackouts like you have sitting at my house.

Finished blacking mine out yesterday:

The lighting was terrible, but I bought the camera about an hour ago and wanted to take pics. The cobra is my other toy

Default Blacked Out??? How about Murder'd the F*ck out...

Well, I guess I could be considered black'd out but I prefer murdered......

C5 Vette: 408 Stroker + 225 shot of juice. Completely murdered out with a hint of red here and there to make it flow....

Flat Black.

(Sorry for the crappy pics, I haven't taken any in a while)
