Whoever this belongs to has put a lot of time and thought into it, and I know it takes a long time to get it just right. Maybe it is right for them and if we knew the owner better, maybe it all fits their personality or who they are.
Don’t judge a book by its cover or a car by its picture...... OK in that defense I have seen some really hideous pics of cars....LOL
My car had eagles and flames at one point....

When dealing with modified cars, love/hate reactions come with the territory. Its rarely got anything to do with angles or photography... what make a car "just right" to someone, makes it "just awful" to someone else.
I used to show a bunch of modified cars in the 70s and 80s when the wild paint was in. Many people hated my cars (especially in my own club), some people loved them. I had to grow a thick skin and understand that personal taste is the only thing that people have to judge a modified car. This is even more eggagerated in the Corvette crowd.
I really dislike pretty much everything on the OP's picture car, especially the stinger hood and overdone details. However, some people will just love it. Whatever. There's plenty of cars for everyone.
Rock on.

Vette, not so much. Mountain, yes.
Don't care all that much for the yellow Vette with the red trimmings but I do like the mountain. I gaze at that everyday that the clouds stay away. Makes a great background for car pics.

Well i have learned that a still picture of a car doesn't reflect the overall car and what it has to offer. My car has shown up on car sites and has been ripped bad because of a weird angle. I am not sure of the front plate either but maybe he is Native American and it means something to this person. when in doubt, give credit.
Whoever this belongs to has put a lot of time and thought into it, and I know it takes a long time to get it just right. Maybe it is right for them and if we knew the owner better, maybe it all fits their personality or who they are.

yeah you've got a good point
i am not a stickler for stock or things having to stay factory but that car is sooo close to looking really cool but yet just a little too much seeing it in person and hearing the owners story behind his build would probly make me a fan of it to each his own i guess

I'm a minimilist, so the car looks like trash to me. But that's just a personal preference. I'm sure the owner put a lot of hard work into the car and takes pride in their work.
