Default [PIC] Shinoda Mears body kit on 96 Grand Sport

I think corvetteforum member "zrracer" did a tasteful job bringing out the race characteristics of this 96 Grand Sport, which is RACED! Very cool in my book!

It's a Shinoda Mears body kit.

That black coupe is a LPE 368 ZR1... that car is all go and the wing isn't there for looks... engine is anodized in red... awesome car. He road races it quite often.

Patrick,

you know what is funny? When I posted a picture of my friend's steel blue ZR-1 with the shinoda body kit more than 80% of the people said it was :U

Now that you posted one with a GS everyone thinks it's awesome. :rolleyes:

Personally, I think the shinoda kit is awesome from the back, very very stealth looking, and gives the regular C-4 a wider look that they need badly.

The black ZR-1 is beautiful, I would love to get my hands on that wing, but I think you will need the callaway rear diffuser to go with that wing.

Hopefully this is the "coming around". I'm personally tired of looking at "cookie cutter" Corvettes. I like to see uniqueness... and some personalization.

I applaud people who dare to be different, and go against popular opinion.

I always did like that kit! It looks awsome no matter what you stick it on. Corvette that is. I aint seen an ugly one yet with that kit and I still hate kits and wings. :p:

If you're talking about Willie Shield's Shinoda ZR-1,anyone that thinks that car sucks is crazy. It's just an awesome car and one I would be proud to own.
