And furthermore, it sits too high, and the wheels/tires are too narrow to fill out the wheel wells, which makes it look even worse, if that's at all possible.

I like mods in vein like finwolfs c2/c3 is a well flowing stunner
i dont like the silly c2s fit on c4 and later chassis they look like something out of the cartoon Cars.

This poor c3, a lot of work and money was spent here and it looks like a cross between a loaf of french bread and a snow shovel,
All that money invested and stock wheels, stock interior thats not finished and boring engine, yet big asking price
The ad is written almost leading about 78s like this happened in 78 or because its a 78.

If a person had 30 to invest or 25k to buy it i have to believe they could finance a real c7.

Sorry its a fail for me, not epic but a fail.

I`m gonna have to agree with bats.... for 25K, I`d be looking for a decent un-molested chrome bumper.

I wonder if the same ahem, "artists" were involved...

Okay, to be fair the c3-7 looks a bit better.

I would have to say that it is clearly incomplete and the asking price could get you an extremely nice and upgraded corvette with an ls swap, suspension upgrades, great paint/interior and perhaps more. Given that, I would still like to see what this could look like all finished with appropriate wheels/tires and interior. Also with a different accent color other than green. Not saying I think it will look like a million bucks, but I think it might look acceptable.

The first picture I said "OK, that's not bad.
Same with the second picture.
Then I saw the third picture and almost puked.
No thank you. That is one custom I do not like. Bats description is spot on.

...professionally elaborated …
That's a novel term. Leaves me wondering what it means.

The proportions are horrible. It looks like it failed to make the cut in a "CARS" movie.

"Professionally Elaborated" is a term first coined by plastic surgeons, Mike. It later became known as body sculpting.
At least that makes sense to me, the car mods not so much.
