Considering the body styling of the C4 , I think it's an improvement.

Blue being one of my two favorite colors, I like it. Would I put something like that on my Vette, no. But, I still like it.

I forgot about that. Could you see the seats in the pics I posted? wow....good eye. Yes, the car had complete leopard looking seats along with the HUGE spoiler. I appreciate the artwork but the rest is WAY over the top for me.
