Default Tron or Batmobile??
I spotted this over the holiday in downtown HB. Is this C7 abuse or am I missing the styling??

Looks more Tron to me. Not my thing but I applaud the effort, they did a good job.

Not for me. It's not as bad as the Sharpie "art" cars, but still ugly.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think it looks good.

As others mention, it is popular with exotic cars and I have seen a few photos of C7s with the same look. I'm usually a fan of appearance MODs but this look hasn't grown on me yet but it's the owner that has to like it.

Further proof that money can't buy good taste.

Not my car nor my money, but also not a look I would do to the car.

That is Corvette abuse, or at least disrespect.
