Default C5 with black top

Do you think it would look good on my blue C5?



I want to do what these Vettes have done.
Any of you seen this on an electron blue Vette or seen a photoshop?

It wouldn't look bad at all, but I don't know that I'd pay that much to have it painted.

its gonna cost 200 bux and it can be done in one day by a reputable shop close to my job. i'm getting a new set of wheels that have a lot of black so the top could really look great with it.

i've seen a white T/A with it alogn with the mirrors and the spoiler. Looked KILLER. I say do it. I'd just get a vinyl overlay though. will last a long time and won't cost nearly as much as painting. Painting will be sweet too though. I should paint my roof black to match the rest of my black car lol oh wait...

I think if you do it you'll need to get black wheels and possibly paint the rear exhaust area black.
