Alrighty.... new wheels and tires are on and the graphics are done (mostly).

Close to the concept pic. Went darker on the red and with the 50th hood/trunk design. I also think I will get the side mirrors and shark fin wrapped in the satin black. I might also re-do the door sill opposite color. Fat red stipe with thin black pin and SS logo, as it is you can barely see the SS. Hard to see in the pic but the sides of the front grill are also in red.

May also replace all the chrome bolts in the wheel barrels with black so less "blingy"

Before the stripes:

With new graphics and red hashes removed:

Looks dam good, love the rims I would tint all 6 of the reflectors dark...

Nice! I'm in a similar situation. Old dude, first car was a 68' Chevelle, itching for a new muscle car. Do you have the A8 or M6 tranny? Any worries buying with 27K miles?

MrRuss · 04-08-2018, 11:52 AM

I have the A8. No worries on the mileage as I purchased from a reputable Cadillac dealer and got the full maintenance history, Carfax, etc.... I also still have 1 year bumper-to-bumper and 3 year powertrain warrantee left.

How about a brighter red on decals to try and match the wheels a little more, tie it all together so to say.

It's not coming through very well in the pics, but the red on the new graphics is almost an exact match of the red on the wheels. Might be the black is making it look darker that it is.
