Default white vettes i need some pics!!

im tired of dealing with this semi-gloss business, so i want to know how a white vette would look if you had the targa and halo painted black? would it be to cop-ish? i want to keep my stripes so it looks like white is my only choice

or if you have a white vette with black wheels i would like to see that also.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but did a quick, (very quick) photo paint on mine.

If your curious how it will look you can do two thing for a temp peek at what it will look like.
1. goto Metrorestyling.com and buy a sheet of Black or Carbon Fiber Vinyl. There is days of info on how to apply this to the outside of cars. It works great and you can peel it right off if you dont like it.
2. plasti-dip mods You can speay this on also and peel it right off if you dont like it.

its not the black i want to know what it will look like, my car is semi-gloss black right now with gloss black/grey stripes(z16and grand sport). i want to keep the top semi-gloss black with some accents. so im wondering more about what white will look like with those things.

quick pics to illustrate what im talking about.

this: my car right now




(the GS stripes are hard to see)


+

this:black lower bumper


+

these black accents:



+

this: black halo, maybe leave semi-gloss?



+

this: main color



= ???????????????????????????????????????? ?

Aaah I gotcha now. I totally on the same page with you on the yellow vette also. I'm going to have my front and back bumpers professionally painted like his next month. looks fantastic.

Your vette looks pretty damn sweet though

I got all of the engine pieces from TKO Performance. The windshield cowl is from West Coast Corvettes.
