You can get a mirror wrap for your car in almost any color.

This car is actually in our shop right now, has a procharger kit on it and headers and will be getting our custom cam, meth kit, and a few other goodies. It's different that's for sure lol. I don't hate it but the middle eastern kids here in AZ do the chrome wraps to a lot of their cars.

Can't be too handicapped if the driver can get in and out of a C7.

Sorry, looks like photographic trickery to me (not to mention is has been MAJORLY enlarged from a lower resolution pic)


Wrong. Not a Photoshop. Definitely a wrap. I do graphic design, TONS of Photoshop and photography work, and I can tell you this is not a photo effect. BTW, nice avatar.

Fail, it's a wrap as has been stated. Nice try though, detective.

What's sexy is I have seen chrome wraps that then get a second layer of the Xpel Stealth, which has a matte finish and you get a satin chrome look. It looks really really good, not too gawdy like a pure chrome look.

Doesn't always mean they have a handicap from actually getting in and out of a car. There are plenty of good reasons to have a handicap parking pass, it doesn't always mean that they are not able-bodied.

I've seen Motorcycles with handicapped plates too!

Rear side window has a logo on it, in the same color. Prob. the company that wrapped it. The retainer also is the same color.
Bingo. Daley Visual is the company logo, and they specialize in vinyl wraps.

The bigger question is what is the handicapped tag doing hanging on the mirror?
