Default Teaser pic of my C7 with the rear fascia painted.
Just got this pic from the shop. It's the only one I have. Got a bunch of cosmetic mods done. I'll post more pics when I get them.

Yeah that cheap dealer license plate is going to be history .


Thanks to Mardis gras(whose look I shamelessly stole). I hope you don't mind

Does look pretty good, but I think I would paint the hats on the rotors - looks pretty bland the way it sits.

The paint will peel of those tips if you ever really run the car and get it hot.

The paint has a high heat resistance. I'm told will not peel.

I like yours too. Wanted to start out this way & see how it looks. I can always paint more if I don't like it in person or go back to stock look.

Next step up would be what Rich's vette looks like & final step up would be yours.

Lots of inspiration on this website.

It will peel if you ever run a track day. I turned my OEM titanium exhaust purple
