Does this look odd???
Maybe it's just me, but something looks wrong with the lines of this '81 Vette on Ebay... something about the fron fenders/lower valance panel looks weird.. or is it just a weird anlge???

The front valence, right in front of the wheels, sticks out too far. The area where the side marker lights are located. Probabaly an aftermarket front end,..or a very poor previous repair job.
