Very creative and expressive of the marque's heritage !!
Lighting makes it look like sixties GM "Honduras Maroon" or "Palomar Red" .
Would I do it, not sure...........but it only needs to please one person !!

Retro ( or is today's word "throwback"? ) is good, sells a lot of "stuff".
But not as good if you were there when it was contemporary !!

Can I interest you in the retro under hood treatment ?

I like it. Very original. Looks better than a lot of the exhaust fillers, mesh grills, and ugly rims I've seen on a lot of these cars.

Paint the white Mag Red , remove the emblems and you would have a great looking Corvette.

Well, since you asked...

Not the greatest pic but the one in this photo (2007 vert) is owned by a gentleman from Alabama and that is his 58 next to it. I wouldn't do it to mine but it did look OK.

You know, I've thought of doing the exact same thing. I like it. Very distinctive and it makes a statement re: heritage of our marque.

Probably not for everyone, but that's why mods are cool. And unique combinations are interesting.

Thanks for sharing.

Looks like it is well done, but I personally do not like it. I would like to see it from a different angle, particularly from the back portion of the car looking forward.
