Halo painted,front tint,aci spoiler installed
 
Jamison's Corvette rocked it out again! Had my car for two days and got it back to me by the weekend. Spoiler fits awesome and halo turned out great. Still waiting on my WCC side skirts:toetap: What ya think?

Haha definitely twins lol

Was your halo vinyl wrapped before?
Paint now?
Is that the glass targa?

jrose7004 12-21-2012 05:42 PM

It looks great! Is that an ACI spoiler?

Yep had the wrap before and it looked OK until the Southern sun made a Huge bubble in the middle.

Painted and it was the painted top. Glass top is in the garage.

Yes and love it.

Mr.Bill 12-21-2012 06:12 PM

You asked what we thing...
Looks good except for the halo, Not feeling it at all, I think the car color painted halo looks much better, It now reminds me of an older Mitsubishi or something like that.
As long as you like it that is all that matters.

Mitsubishi....funny. :rofl: Happy Holidays everybody!

esemes 12-21-2012 07:08 PM

looks great. agree with all the modifications

chassed 12-21-2012 07:17 PM

I agree with bill, the black halo looks like aS$.

Paint it silver again, so it can look like everyone else's.
being different is lame. All C5's should look the same, not like a riced out eclipse!
Get it right next time man.

slvr bulit 12-21-2012 07:36 PM

Thanks man. Wheels are 19x 9.5 in front and 20 x 11's in the rear. They're ZFORCE wheels. Little more expensive than CCW's but less than HRE's. Ton's of options and color applications.

What's a halo? I'm thinking high altitude low opening but that cannot possibly be correct.

3318C5 12-21-2012 09:04 PM

TIKTGTR that car looks sweet & so do the mods!!!! :rock:

The only thing I'm not sold on is the black front plate cover, I think would look better in the OEM paint....just my .02

Johnson 92 12-21-2012 09:31 PM

I agree. I'm not digging the black wheels or black front license plate either. The spoiler looks good though.

I used to own one of the original Eclipse's that Mr. Bill is talking about. He's pretty much dead-on with the comparison.

I was being sarcastic....
My car looks identical to his lol

TIKTGTR 12-22-2012 11:42 AM

lol you guys! I let you all in my head. Removed the plasti dip off the front plate. Was on the fence any who and you all made it clear. Just came back from a nice morning cruise rocking to some Godsmack:rock:

Caesar68 12-22-2012 04:54 PM

TIKTGTR, I think the black halo and black wheel combination looks great.

Its funny how the traditionalists versus the progressives express their opinions on this forum. "I hate black wheels" vs. "chrome wheels are for old farts". It just goes on and on. But why try to cheapen the black wheel look by comparing them to spares, or by saying black halos remind them of an old eclipse? This criticism to me is insulting.

Compare apples to apples. A black halo on a Corvette should be compared to a Corvette that comes that way from the factory. Plenty of Lamborghini's, Ferrari's and Porsche's are coming stock from the factory with black wheels. Would you call them spares too? I don't think so.

I'll leave you this picture in closing. Anyone who says this car doesn't look good is simply nuts or has bad taste.

Thanks Caesar! You nailed it right on the head. I did ask what "everyone" thought and I got it. Even if it my car is now somewhat "eclipish". Maybe should have just showed my floor mats instead:rofl: Thanks everybody!!:cheers:

David Shiel 12-22-2012 08:48 PM

I live in Summerville and
 
years ago had Jamison fix a rear bumper on my Dodge Stealth Twin Turbo. Awesome work. Will be taking the Vette in for some work.

TIKTGTR 12-22-2012 09:02 PM

David, Keri is awesome to deal with. He has done everything on my car from LT's,Paint,tune,troubleshoot blower,and RPM tranny. He may have a hood to install in his future too.

Thanks. I'm kind'a new to the Corvette world. I really like it though. My car is the same color so now I'm thinking about having my halo painted too.

That's funny! I've been on the fence with black rims, I think is a pretty tough look, and I'm really feeling these wheels if I had the $, hoping to get 18x9.5 & 19x11 rear. sadly there are no run flats for that rear.

TIKTGTR. The Halo in black, I wouldn't even notice it on the pics if someone hadn't pointed it out, just like your spoiler, it's personal taste, I'm cool with almost all of your mods, specially the black plate cover, been thinking doing the same to mine, now that someone busted mine up by backing into it, but I would be worry about getting parking tickets.
Keep up the good work buddy! :thumbs::thumbs:

MGP1 12-25-2012 07:20 AM

Looks wicked---front plate should be silver :cool:

*Trip* 12-25-2012 05:11 PM

I like the black halo.....I guess thats the one thing Eclipse got right...ha!......the black wheels and wing are prob too bold for me to go there, but it looks fantastic as a complete theme for your car....head turner for sure...

sablan'01 12-26-2012 06:50 AM

Always been partial to your car but I'm biased...:rock:
