I think the C3 body style is art in itself. when you ad paint jobs like that it kinda takes away from the stingray look, just my opinion. but the flames are really good and i love that there is no body line where the rear bumper is.

this is a decent looking custom in my opinion....could've done without the huge front bumper, flames and not my favorite choice of wheels.

i like the groundfx on it....could've been molded in infront of the rear tire but looks nice and almost like it belongs on there.

Not sure that the flames improves the car design, even if I admit it's a nice paint work...

Custom is all about personal taste, you guys know I don't care for the ghetto pimp wheels on any C3,

I like customs that flow and look "even" and this thing is as nose heavy as Bin Laden,

But I feel a bit silly and sad that I thought at first look the yellow was where some midhap had happened...a solid color would do wonders for this car but it was his/her dream and I support that,

I would have liked to seen it before the flames were added.
I think it's a pretty interesting custom. While I have no problem with the large diameter wheels I don't think the "bling bling" choise helps the overall theme of the car at all. Otherwise
