It's not the door; it's the hood/fender piece that doesn't line up. Look closely.



The French have adopted the Corvette C5-R's and C6.R's because of the French name. Chevrolet Corvette. How much more of a French name can you get?

Wing looks lower than GM C6R. Paint line looks closer than the gill section.

I knew that but it still looks lower to me than factory may just be the veiw or my eyes. I would like a better look at the dive planes.
