Not my cup of tea but a lot of work has gone into that car, and while it's over the top I have seen a LOT worse.

I think it looks pretty good. Not what I would do with it, but the quality looks like it might be there. I'm not crazy about that kind of paint, but it's not that bad of a custom.

That car has been around Ebay for a long time. I first must have saw it a couple months ago.

I wouldn't do it or buy it, but as Durango said, there are worse examples out there than that.......

I think its sharp looking..even with the wing...looks pretty modern-ized.

I don't like the paint either, but I can appreciate the work that has gone into it.

Awful. One step above the trailer park Trans Am crowd.

These are the cars that make C3 owners look bad.

I suppose if you removed the ground effects, the rims, interior design, rear wing, and chicken wire in the front grill, maybe it would be nice.

Oops, I guess that would just about get rid of the entire car! That would be good too…………

You forgot the Micky Mouse paint and the POS engine compartment.

Actually, the guys driving around with in cars that should have been either junked or totally rebuilt years ago are the ones that make C3 owners look bad...the kind of car where the frame is about one pothole from snapping in half...
