 Welcome to the site! The way I post them is not using the "picture" link. Type in "img" inside of closed square brackets before the web address for the picture, and at the end (w/o spaces) type in closed brackets "/img". Unfortunately I can't show you because if you do that it will think it is an image and try to post it as opposed to showing the text. Good luck. Matthew |

Hey Dean, what did you ever figure out about the side pipes and the poor finish? I hope your wife doesn't feel bad about the whole thing...she certainly did a nice thing getting them for you.

I think the black will actually look kind of cool. Not only will it hide the defect of the pipes but it'll make a unique yet subtle contrast to the fantastic paint color. |

yellow and black does go together well. I don't think it would be a bad thing, at all.
When I went shopping for my C4, I had a short list of colors, in no order: Blackrose with tan or grey Polo Green with tan (what I got) Yellow with black Red with tan I never found one Blackrose... the yellow ones I found were all A4, I wanted an M6. that's where the polo green came from! |

Yes... Welcome
The C3 section is getting some real sweet cars among its ranks. Maybe I need to trade up to a C3. Something artistic about the C3 curves, especially with chrome side pipes. Just awesome |

Good Point!! I bought my C4 in 2001 I think. I was out shopping for a C3, but got sidetracked into a nice C4 which in 2004 was still pretty young. I love my 94, but every time I get around all the nice C3s in my Corvette Club I get all drooly and stuff. |

I know of a guy with a Corvette restoration and body shop in Illinois that has a great shape '75 for $5K. It's plain Jane but good under, inside, outside, and under the hood. Great start for a project at a good price. To be clear, I'm not selling or making any commission...I just know of the seller so I know of the car. |

OOhhh don't you tempt me!!
I'm already in the doghouse. After I finished some mods to my Vette last fall, I fell into a great little sailboat at the right price. Another project right now might sink the boat!! literally! |

Welcome aboard, we could use more late model Vettes. I like your C3, it looks like you enjoy it... As previously suggested, I think your pipes would look good black.
If I ever get around to coating our headers, they will be jet hot coated black. Wes |

Thanks for the kind words. If I end up liking the pipes black, I may see about getting a black coating. Does anybody have a picture of black coated pipes?

I was surprised at how few images I found online. You can see in this horribly small image, that this C3 has black side pipes and it doesn't look bad at all. The purple is awful and I personally love the pop of chrome...but I think in your case the easiest and cheapest way might be to go black with them.

Welcome Aboard. I really like the yellow. If you haven't decided what black you're going to use, you may want to take a look at Duplicolor High Temp Ceramic black. It's rated at 500 degrees. It's a satin finish. I used it on my chambered pipes that bolt up to the cats a couple of years ago, still looks good. |

Another Duplicolor product that I've been wanting to try is their "Auto Art". It's supposed to wash off with soap and water. I wanted to play with some hood stripes. It would be one way to see black pipes in the flesh. I can't vouch for how well it works yet. |
