Olive Drab C6 Corvette
 
I bought a black C6 and live on a dirt road. Dumb move on my part. My "fix" was to wrap it in 3M olive drab. Now I just need a pin-up girl on the sides behind the front wheels. A photograper buddy is going to do a photo shoot with another friend of ours dressed up as a 40's pin-up girl in the next couple weeks.

Doesnt look too bad. The mirrors would look sick wraped in carbon fiber.

I was thinking that, lol. Also tinting my sidemarkers, foglights, headlights, and tails.

To each his own I guess.

I know. He posted in my thread over on Corvette Forum. I figured I would show you guys over here. I don't get on here much anymore.

Camaroking1996 04-19-2012 05:32 AM

Wrap the mirrors in cf, and black everything else out and it will look mean.

MikeFSKSpeed 04-19-2012 06:48 AM

That looks great! I like it.

BOBS99SS 04-19-2012 07:02 AM

I think it looks good,the black looks better, you should have went with a matte white,lol i love white so my opinion is for white,doesnt look bad though,i think some cf accents would set it off

brutalis 04-19-2012 08:32 AM

Looks awesome imo. Agree with the cf mirror idea. Just needs a shark mouth on the side and some kill stickers :D

bad_408_vert 04-19-2012 10:01 AM

charlie6178 04-19-2012 10:34 AM

$800, but he hooked me up since I have had work done by him before. Normally starts at $995 depending on material cost. Some places charge $2000 or more. Just depends. You need to find an installer that wont razor blade your paint job all to hell though.

Z28JLR 04-19-2012 11:51 PM

Legit!!

Detoxx03 04-20-2012 12:05 AM

Surprisingly it looks good.

whytryz28 04-20-2012 12:46 AM

It's not like I have to go four wheelin' to get to my house. Buying a black car was dumb as hell on my part though. All fixed now though. :jest:

02gtp4now 04-20-2012 08:23 AM

BlackScreaminMachine 04-20-2012 11:26 AM

yup, seen it several times in person except it has a carbon fiber roof and trunk and hood wrap.

ZeeSNuttS 05-17-2012 12:07 PM

Nice!!!

91rs355 05-17-2012 03:56 PM

Looks good man, it would be nice to see it with the pin up girls next to it

bill12690 05-17-2012 04:23 PM

doesn't look bad, pretty cool actually... i agree with the matte white comment though... would've been sick with matte white/CF

LilJayV10 05-20-2012 06:28 PM

I like it. I would love to learn how to do that.

lilmiller74 05-21-2012 04:42 AM

how hard is it to do, and where do you get it? Id like to to my targa top and halo in matte black.

I didn't do it myself. Look for shops that do vehicle graphics. Should only cost a $100-$200 to get the roof and halo done.

Right on. I just got done doing a 300 mile loop up through Prescott, Jerome, and Sedona. I couldn't find a car wash before, so it was still covered in bugs. :jest:

Bramlok 05-23-2012 02:17 PM

It's different. I think it looks good. It might have been cool to de-badge the Corvette emblems and maybe add a few subtle military type decals or a small American flag on the front fenders.

TheLS1Lover 05-23-2012 02:25 PM

That thing is sexy!

roninsonic 05-30-2012 12:59 PM

That looks SOOO sick... It would look awesome if you did flat black american flags on the doors, added a serial to the top of the quarter, stuff like that.

TurboAv 02-04-2013 08:18 PM

Wrapped the mirrors olive drab also. Looks way better than the black mirrors to me.

do some "blackbird" style stripes on the sides of the cowl in black, would look pretty bad ass nd accentuate it nicely.
