I was going to do yellow, to honor the Corvette Racing team, but PlastiDip doesn't make yellow yet. So I went with red to match the calipers. PepBoys carries the color spray PlastiDip in case you were wondering. 2 cans per wheel well liner.

Yeah I accidentally posted in C5 when I meant to in C6, either way it gives guys ideas. And I went ahead and posted in the C6Z section too. I have never heard my tires Bob... Full exhaust system, no cats.

Way silly!
Will look pock marked in no time. Why are they black on EVERY car? To hide all the crap thrown up by the tires.

'Back in da day', guys use to paint the whole under chassis/gastank neon orange...they thought that was cool.

...but it's your car.

Oh man I remember those days, never did quite understand why some guys did that. Not a big fan of the OP's mod but to each their own.

No "maybe" about it. It is definitely, definitely silly. Also bordering on disgusting.

It's Plastidip, it'll peel off whenever he wants it to. Who cares, LOL.

Covered mine with black plastidip. You do about 3-4 light--> heavy coats and rocks will not even puncture it. The clear one is great for track days. Makes removing tar so much easier.
