Personally, I think it looks horrible. especially since it looks like your going for the "all black" look. and just so you know the "!" in front of red paint means "delete" etc.

well if theres a "look" that means everyones doing it....no one has this. all black or "murdered out" is overplayed and everywhere! just my opinion.

I agree all black is "overplayed" and I personally DONT like it. But it APPEARED as though, that was the look YOU were going for. When someone gets ALL black wheels on a black car, then IMO, you cannot add any other color.. And true, noone has that. bc it is hideous. I dont know how/why anyone would think that the red on the back looks good. It looks insanely out of place/tacky. And just bc noone has it does not mean that it is better. I hate when people think that there car looks better bc "its different".

honestly i'm up in the air on the red in the back, no one has it because most don't like it. also most have ZR1s or Z06s or TT2s like EVERYONE else (including me but mine are grey) and i think it sets yours off from others. if i was to see you drive by i would know exactly who you are, instead of walking around at a meet and seeing 15 trans ams line up next to each other and wondering wich ones mine lol... keep it, makes your car stand apart from the rest.

Standing out from others is not always a good thing.

D.Stunter. You should paint the doors and the front bumper red too! Then you'll really be different! yay!
