Thats not the worst that I have seen. I wonder though what it looks like with the hood closed. I bet of you put some tasteful flares on the back wheels and took off those hideous covers it wouldnt look to bad... At least its painted nice

If Orange County Choppers ever built a Vette, that would be it.

A lot of work to make this thing but dang...those rear covers have got to go! Looks like something you find in the "Accessories" isle at Autozone.

Kind of what I was thinking. Probably what made me think that was the wheel well covers. Surely someone would not do that on purpose to the car.

The skirts do look a bit photoshopped; not reflecting surroundings like the rest of the car.

Don't care for the running boards, but awesome paint!
