Seems to me I remember reading a post on here were a members painted the lower rear area of his black Vette with a matte black. I don't thing a contrasting color will look good on a black car. Now on the Red's Yellow's Silver"s and so on the back looks fine. I have never seem anybody use a different color then black.

Sure. Masking it off so the lines didn't stand out was the hard part.

GMMG Blackbird Trans Ams have a dark charcoal/gunmetal colored "CETA" mod.

I have seen one black car and with the metallic charcoal it looks stunning. I wish I could find the picture on ls1tech.

Not sure if the C5 outline would allow the same impact. I usually don't like that area painted.. only some look good.

Why would we want to paint the big black butts on our cars? We've already got what everyone else is trying to get.

One day people with black vettes will realize it comes that way from the factory thus the responses and lack of pics.
