It has interesting appeal although I would prefer an unmolested car in another color

Do not care for the doors but looks nice otherwise.. Definitely a personalized vette that would stand out from just a row of stock ones at a show or something. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Not too bad, but the hood, wheels, spoiler, vertical doors are not my taste

Congrats on a very highly personalized car. Obviously a fast car. A lot of time and money well expended.

Because you asked, I would say that the only possible negatives for me are the wheels. They just don't seem to work on a Corvette. In these pictures, they just seem too curvy and softly rounded, kinda visually weak. They kind of look like a chromed artistic interpretation of some type of flower.

IMO, a bold fast car like this one needs bold strong powerful looking wheels. Thinking more along the lines of the various ZO6 or ZR1 looks or some of the HRE looks, etc. In comparison, the wheels on that Porsche Cayenne SUV make a much bolder statement.

Overall a nice car, not all the mod's I would do, but not all the mod's I have done everyone else would do.

To each his own, don't take the negative replies to heart. Enjoy your car and have fun.

I don't like the doors
I don't like the interior.
I do like the exterior although not crazy about black.
Good job with the engine compartment.
I would never let pretty girls sit on my bumper. I can think of better
places for them to sit.

Where did you get the seat covers and are they 100% leather?

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post.. Its putting down 500 to the wheels. The bottle is just for show. I use to have it hooked up but that was without my blower. I just started tracking the car last year. I have a race setup as well with different wheels. I've spent a lot of hours working on the car, since I have done everything myself. Once again thanks for the reply's..

Obviously a lot of work, $$ and TLC went into this build. I especially like the engine compartment; a balanced & tasteful combination of chrome and black. Well done!

As nice as the three "hood ornaments" are, I wouldn't want them on my car.
