I so agree. Great photo set.

The basic design isn't all that bad and would help if the fenders blended seamlessly into the wheel well flares, .. maybe

The designer/manufacturer (standing by door) brought the first one to Pinks-All-Out in Nov '10. But, I don't think that's where the pink on the OP's pic originated.

I slipped in on the photo shoot that was in process.

Good lord NO! Front is worse than the back. Look at the flat front surface with which to push air.

Gotta admire their talent and creativity, that's for sure.

That does not mean I like it...

I have un luckily had to to deal with the guy in pix. Owner of the shop . Probly took Him for every to do over predicted budget and corners cut. Guess how I know! Car looks ok but why for what you paid for that you could redo a real stingray replica

Might look pretty good once they sand that primer and paint it.

Silver on a car like that would look ok

I don't like the red wheels or the red accents at all.

That is exactly what I was going through. Side view I said to myself not bad, rear view no good, paint job maybe. Not sure.

Different, but not that bad. I think in a different color it would look much better.

Default The question is...

..whether that is primer or that new non gloss finish some cars now are seen with. I think the look is kinda cool, but would look better in traditional paint. As for your yellow "banana" it is in the rear by the retaining wall.Now what did I win?
