When I saw the subject line, I didn't think I would like it. When I saw the pictures, I was impressed. I think it is a good look and well done. 
The wheels go well with the look, also
What does that badge on the rear bumper say?

Looks very nice. Was it fabricated?
I love the Motor City hood, that is similar, for the C5's, and this is close to that, but not as rounded.

It may not work with other colors but the black and silver look sharp.

Thanks for the positive responses, Im sure he'd appreciate it. I know many hours of work went into this and it looks to have paid off. I will post some more pics of the initial fitment and fabrication process as soon as I get them Oh, and that 427 badge is his next project

Can you get pics with the hood open. I am curious if he cut into the hood. Can you say cowl cool air with a air induction rereouted from the back?

I love the hood, somebody should make that for the rest of us instead of making the usual junk they keep popping off. A version of the C3 style LT1 hood would be badass too. How did he do it ?

Wow, looks like I'm the first, but I hate the look! I applaud the skill it took and the fact that it is very different, but man, that hood is some kind of ugly on that car to me! 
Generally I do like silver & black combo, though.
Hope he likes it, and it certainly looks like in the minority on this one.

I like it...it does look good in those colors probably look good with a dark red & black also. Wouldn't work on my car though
I also like the WHEELS .... what kind are they? It has just enough of a polished lip to offset the black centers

I thought that badge said "427." Nice!
