I don't think that would ever grow on me, or my car. To each his own though.

Definately not my cup of tea. But if you like it, that's what counts!

Surprisingly, it's not awful...just really bad. I'd prefer that over some of the other body-mods I've seen!

What are your plans Stew with the vette? Are you going to leave it like that? or are you planning to put it back to stock?? Good luck.

I think what we need to remember is the fact that the Corvette was and continues to be an industry in itself. The vette has inspired alot of creative juices over the years with many interesting people and their interesting ideas, this happens to be one.

Definately not my cup of tea, but it looks like somebody worked really hard to put that there.

I have an idea which orifice the creative juices came out of for that design.

It looks like quality work although it certainly isn't to my tastes. It really bugs me when I go to car shows and see period 50s and 60s rods. It makes you think that most cars came customized with continental kits. There really weren't that many cars with the continental spares back then.

That's pimptastic!!!!
I don't care for the looks of it on a Corvette, but whoever did it, did a good job installing it.

I recognize that car!! It is a one of a kind, made especially for the President of Lincoln Continental in 1977. It is priceless!!

It sure does not go well with side pipes. Nice looking vette, just take the kit off the back.

you guys aren't being creative enough... what it needs, is to be streched into one of those 4 door vettes, then it will look just fine!!!
