looks like a nice car man and its obviously going to a good home and to someone who will appreciate it! I have never met you but seen your car on the road twice...shocked as I thought people could actually drive something that nice haha. Glad to see you showcased your work and actually drove it.

Do whatever makes you happy. I think it'd look cheesy if everyone did it and made it flashy as hell, kind of like those little fake vent things that people put on their front quarter panels haha. But do it right and it'll look good...to you and me at least.

Everything with cars is opinions anyway...

Nice car! As for custom paint you can do some matte racing stripes pinstriped in red, then powdercoat your rims black, with some red calipers. That would look sweet.

Hey Adam, small world. It's Justin. I just picked up an 05 GTO. Feel like helping me paint it? . Love the car, haven't seen it in person yet but hope to soon. I'm sure whatever you do with the Corvette will be great. I've seen a lot of what you do first-hand and you never disappoint. Congratulations!

Yeah we need to get together. Let me know if you're going cruising anytime or to a meet. I'd say invite Doug's skittle but I'm not sure I want to be caught near it.

Forgot to ask, how long does it take for you to do a temp paint job? I'd like to see some red on my car. I'll pay you of course.
