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.

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

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

$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.
