That's probably the largest wing I've seen on a vette. Looks terrible.

Sorry it took so long to reply....I've been in the bathroom puking. Now is it just me, or are the front wheels bigger than the rear wheels? Or is it just the wing weighing down the rear end? Man I think we should all go out and flog the creater of the Fast and the Furious. People have lost all style and taste now-a-days.

I thought the same thing too. But, it looks like the wheels are 19 or 20 inches and the offset is the same all around. The rear would have a deeper offset than the front.

Still it is all wrong, just wrong! Its a C3 with the back window, a C4 from the front with a hint of Pontiac, a C5 from the back and with that wing. Well, I just don't know.

Sometimes, he parks that thing under apple trees and lets it collect all of the fallen apples.. then he drives out to the shipping docks and sells them to the workers at a low cost =)

Is it just me (and the beer) or are the front wheels bigger than the rear? Do some people have no shame? Why do this to a perfectly good C4?

The big one on the race car is FUnctional. This one is FUgly!

I think it's the wing that really kills it...

Probably because it is their car, and if they like it, that's good enough for me.

The rims are awesome as are the side pipes, but the wing definitely killed the car. Talk about going overboard!

There'a a local Chevy dealer in my area who sells a lot of Vettes and currently has a C4 with a small wing on the back and he told me he was amazed at how many people walk away or not even look at this car because of the wing. It's a shame because it is a low mileage car in perfect condition and priced right. I know if I see a wing, I pass.

The wing, limp looking side mirrors and F-body hood hurt the look so bad that those smooth looking sidepipes cant recover. I think he went to K-mart and had his tires rotated, his 20s are in front now and his 18s are in the rear, also swapped side to side. I hear running directional tires backwards makes the car lighter...
