I love this new design - but the point isn't what any of us like - it's what makes you feel cool! Make the vette your own!

Well, I finally got it done last week. Just in time for the annual cruise-in at work.
I think most everybody likes it, save for the purists.
I even got a complement from the toll-lady on the NYS Thruway when I got off in Rochester.
BTW, the color of the car is off because it was a bright sunny day. I need to take some pictures on a cloudy day.

Personally, I likes the big flag on the hood better (although without the eagle). I agree with someone above who said if you do the graphics down the side, it would probably look better to have them going straight back or even flare up in the back. To have the graphic angling down seemed to me to distract a little from the low nose, swoopy fenders and rear spoiler of the Vette. Either way, I like the idea of making it stand out from the crowd!
The nice thing about it, if I get tired of the design, I can use a hair drier and peel the decals off.
Anyway, I have no problem finding it in the mall parking lot now.
