First a little history for those unfamiliar with Corvette Racing and Bad Boy Vettes:
http://www.badboyvettes.com/
The following was taken from the BBV website-


So this is our story.

We were at Le Mans in 2004 and we met the Corvette Racing team. We noticed that the team had unofficially embraced skull icons as a symbol of the take-no-prisoners mentality of those intense 24 hours. "TAKE NO PRISONERS" was actually scrawled on the wall of the Corvette pit.

We thought that the team should have its very own skull icon and we sketched our idea over beers on a cocktail napkin.

The C6.R "Mascot" made its debut on C6.R's b pillars the next year at the 2005 Le Mans race. They've been on the C6.R's ever since. What can we say except that we're extremely happy & proud to have our design on the coolest racecars in the world.

Here are the C6R's in special BBV's paint for the last race of the '07 season

Now this is my Tribute to Corvette Racing and Bad Boy Vettes:
I wanted to keep it simple

As I said earlier, under the hood liner Chevy saved all kinds of money by not using much paint, so the entire underside of the hood had to be sprayed and here as with the spoiler the color match was great.

The spoiler is Caravaggio Corvettes from the Skunk Werks Body Kit
