That's actually a pretty significant achievement . . . that car doesn't have one angle from which it looks good. That ain't easy to do. Yikes.

They have been doing it since the 60's..............
Yet I have never figured out if it looks good or bad, let alone why.
Guess if they like it, why not?
Certainly an attention-getter!

My first reaction was that the rear end looked like a balloon, but looking at the second pic, it's obvious that the balloon effect is due to the camera lens.
The link to the website chokes my browser, but I hope this is a complete repo and that a C1 was not sacrificed... Anyway, it's not a bad look IMHO.

Those are based on a C5 platform. That's an 02 or 03 coupe VIN #. I'm not a big fan of them but I would take that one as a grocery getter

That looks like an Advanced Auto Technologies (AAT) conversion with lambo doors added. They don't normally come with lambo doors.

Yknow, I generally dont like customs and I like those C5 to early car "conversions" even less, but Ive always thought the 50's Corvette Nomad look was kinda interesting.
This wouldnt be nearly as bad if those horrifying doors werent on there. Thats the killer.
