| I bought this riv in May of this year in Ohio with 24k miles on it. It was black- and I have a long history of tutoneing Buicks with silver (easier to keep clean)- my 1st was a 84 regal coupe with a chev V8. Anyway I have painted five buicks that way- I guess I like it? Just got this back from the painter and spent a day detailing the overspray and paint on the rubber parts (these cars are hard to paint!) and had to take a couple of picts and see what you guys think. I know some of you prefer stock but I restored Corvettes for 30 years and stock is not my personality I guess- I want it like I want it. I like it- let me have it! | |

| This is how I want mine - Or maybe with the center black and the sides silver. I haven't decided yet. I'll have to chop that next | |

I'm in Blaine- my sign shop is on 105th and Hwy65 (central ave.) The break line is a couple inches down from where the factory put the pin- stripe- I wanted more silver to show from the side since silver is my primary focus. I had a silver '98 previous to this- not silver enough for my taste and I never bonded with it. I am pumped now tho- l have a bunch more mods on the drawing boards for this winter- when the vette goes to sleep. Gene | |

| I like it ! Reminds me of the WH1 g-body regals. Great way to mount the front license plate!
Don't paint the grey plastic parts black, the car will look weird. | |
