Default Wrap smooths out ZO6 body, integrates the intake & removes tacked on black plastic




It's ironic that the camo wrap solves most of the ZO6's design failures.
The wrap smooths out all the body lines, integrates the side intakes into the body, and even removes the hideous tacked on black plastic.


Sadly, this picture will always remain the best ZO6 image.
Can the photoshop wizards here take the published pics of the Camo Wrap ZO6s from the Nurburgring, and replace the Camo Wrap, with popular colors like ELB, Silver, Black, etc?
Thanks in advance.

It is difficult to get the reflectivity of the paint correct given the matte and pattern of the camo is designed to hide surface detail. But with some detailed gamma correction I had some success. Ultimately, I tried to go for a "magic hour" sunset vibe.

One of many ridiculous posts from you. We’ve had our fair share of trolls throughout the years, at least some were funny and/or entertaining. Can’t say the same for you.

There you go man, you've solved it. Have your car wrapped in camo.

You must be past the anger stage, good job!

Nothing but worthless responses.
Can anyone use photoshop to replace the camo wrap with Elkhart Lake Blue paint?

Given the limitations you were facing, that is really well done!

That's awesome. Thank you.
Would love to see that wrapped ZO6 shape, with factory paint.

To be fair, we’ve only seen one shot of the Z06 and you’re acting like you know everything about it will be terrible. It was a poor angle with bad lighting in a meh color. Just wait a few weeks and you can see the full reveal with options.

Are you still whining about Chevy dumping the round taillights?

I actually didn't like C5 ovals, I chose the older '94 Rx7 over a C5 I didn't like C7 taillights either. I did like the C6 round and I like the C8 taillights. I love me some of Ferraris 2 circle taillights that are smaller circles, and I like the Ford GT tail lights. Just give me a couple small circles or a cool light stripe like Porsche/Dodge Charger taillights. Integrating intake or venting into lights is always neat as well ala Challenger/Ford GT.

The original poster is right! Chevy can't help themselves with lines, they love lines and hate curves that flow! He's also right about that hideous intake whatever it is...its freaking ugly!

I'm gonna enjoy smashing that part of the car up against someone on the track...its gonna be like take that you ugly POS...Oh sorry dude I just wanted to smack the ugly off this car hope you bought the track insurance...blaaahaaa

After market will fix it and I bet more then 90% of these cars get it painted in body color...hey GM design guys your ideas suck!

It's the reason you don't see chevy cars on the road anymore their freaking ugly...the Silverado is ugly also what gives with you guys?

You must be blind.
The side intakes are hideous.
That tacked on black plastic looks cheap and terrible.
The side intakes are, and will continue to be, universally hated.

Ironically, the camo wrap hides most of the design failures, as the camo wrapped cars with the big spoiler look menacing and incredible.
