Ugh! Who in their right name would do this horrid thing to a beautiful C4?
And the line "..Paint By Corvette Professional Expert.."...I just dont know what to say, except that our most esteemed "Corvette Professional Expert" might have had a few too many.

Ouch... my eyes hurt... The C5 kit looks okay, the paint looks like they spraypainted it with .96 cent paint and put on some ricer stickers (good for at least a +5hp gain... LOL ) and the rims aren't bad but the stock rotors look like mini me brakes.

Interior.... geez... words fail me

I'll pretend i never saw it... yeah that's what i'll do.. it never existed

Nice exhaust. I think the tailpipe on my daily driver Civic has a bigger diameter than those. It looks more like a drain for something.

Is it just me, or do the 'drain pipes' also look off center?

I'll bet the owner is one of those exotic dancers in Vegas. Probably had a customer give it to her in appreciation of a great lap dance!

the painted to match interrior with red house paint brushed paint is a great bonus feature, all that on top of more red paint in the engine compartemnt. all that on top off the fact that the guy will prosecute you if you bail out of the bid. priceless

Looks pretty.. but then you see more than the front photo =)

Does he see that the exhaust doesn't fit properly?

I probably would have cleaned up the engine before taking those pix @_@
