loose the flame gauges and go with some other design...

paint the same stripes on the underside of the hood so it flows everywhere (since you have it flowing under the hood with the stripes as well)

and wtf kind of exhaust setup are you running now?

and maybe paint the wiper cowl to match (the red with stripes)
I'm not blacking out the rear lights or geting clears. The red flows with the all red tail-lights I have and blacking them out would just make them stick out. Not my intention. I'd shave them if i could.

The flame gauges are in process of being changed. I'm just trying to track down a stock overlay at the moment to finish that off.

The underside of the hood will be painted eventually, and I would like to do those underhood mirrors that I've seen some guys do. We'll see about that.

WTF kind of exaust set up am I running? It's a work in progress Jake. I'm trying to find a decent way to pull off a side exiting threw the rocker panels and keep it legal. The openings in the rear vallance will be the future placement of my back-up lights from a C6 covette. But this is proving to be a bit harder than I had origionally thought so it's kind of on the back burner. So to answer your question, it's just a flowmaster with no tips. :banghead:

I thought about painted the wiper cowl but again - we'll have to see.

I like the idea of it, and how it looks. but I hate to be a debbie downer.. I just dont like it. I dont think it belongs on your car, but thats just my opinion.

What, the decal? Hay, it's all good. I like it, thats all the matters. Besides, it isn't as obtuse as the pics make it seem. It blends in really nice.

Well no, I like how it looks.. I guess the meaning is symbolic enough, but I just dont think it belongs on your car.. Just me, I dont mix my women and cars.

Well....

Im sorry but I don't like it... There is way too much going on and its takin away from 1 major focal point.. I think the focal point on your car would be the stripes, but after they are used too much it starts to take away from the purpose.. Interior is too busy as well as the engine bay.. I think the more simple the car is the better... Sorry dude.. Oh yeah and you know already that I never liked the red lip on the rims..
