It looks cool as a unique Corvette. I like it. It doesnt really make me think Knight Rider though. As long as you enjoy it thats all that counts.

just have to hook up the electronics to the scanner in the hood and then complete!

Didn't realize how difficult it is to take pix of a brand new painted car......they did such a good job on the clear coat, keeps reflecting the sky and clouds! awesome! You should see it in person...wow!

Are you planning on color-sanding and buffing? That would really make it pop out. Maybe it's just the photos, but it looks like there's a bit of orange peel.

I would have.....
Filled the letters on the bumpers and done someting with that logo recess on the hood, probably found a way to fill it. Tint the windows, coat the wheels black or get black wheels, blackouts on the tail lights, and loose the silver exhaust tips.....but thats just me.

Where is punishervette when you need him?

looks good, i actually really liked the mod with the aqua (original) color!

how involved was the paint job? Was it a panel off paint job?

Lowered with a sick set of black wheels ASAP. Also, ditch the bulky polished tips and paint them black as well. If your gonna do knight rider theme, you gotta murda' it out. Stock rally car ride height and wheels are killin it.
