Who's the guy on these forums that has a C2 like that?

Personally I think it looks fricking awesome. The rear fender flares need to be smaller on that car though...and I'd prefer the normal headlights. Still looks good though!

For some reason I'm strangely attracted to it. Definetley far from the worst body mod I've seen.

Looks closer to a rubber bumper C3 front end with a chrome bumper set right on the edge, looks kind of neat. Any vendors make something like that?

A comment in the link to pics states it is an "old" resto done when 67's were cheap...
