Default [Pic] Should I Powder-coat my 5 spokes black and do Black Hashmarks on my car???

Hey Guys.... I was just looking for opinions on what I should do to my car....

The theme might be Black Rims, Black Hashmarks, Black Tints, Blackouts and Black "CORVETTE" lettering in the back.....

What do you guys think....

Click on picture for much better veiw

I wouldnt do the louvers black, I was just testing.... What do you think???

Personally I think it looks awsome and will probably endup doing it... but Lets see what the forum has to say :cheers:

I think that it looks great!

Most important factor is, Do you like it????

It is your car. I know that it has been said before, but you are the one driving it. You are the one putting money in it. You are the one making the payments.

I love the fact that we can make our cars what we want. That is what makes owning a Corvette so special. It is yours and it can take the personality that you give it... :cheers:

:seeya

looks good, but i personally would do something else... i like chrome!
just not into black wheels... or hashmarks...
if you do get black wheels, make your brakes match the car to show thru the wheels. that'd be sweet.

Black wheels are evil. I say do it. But, expect the whole personality of your car to change. :thumbs:

I'm for it except the hash marks. They should be a diffferent color, like maybe silver or something. You need something to set it off.

The car is already tinted and I already have the blackouts..... The only thing I would have to pay for it the powder coating ..... I have the vinyl to do the hashmarks, Trust me...... a lot of money is going into "go" :D

The blackouts acually allow the light to go through them no problem...... I think Im going to do it......

Chrome is only for black cars :yesnod:

I think it looks very :cool: . I'd love to get some black 5 spokes. If it were me, I'd leave off the hash marks, but hey, do whatever you like.....just no big wing, okay?
