There is always a poser in waiting looking to get attention with more money than brains.But you guys know where ever he takes it at any show it will be the center of attention 
Not that I like it but that is reality.
I told you so!

My 1rst vette was an abomination. It was a black '90, with the full Stalker kit. I bought it that way, as I was totally clueless at the time. I literally woke up one morning like a ton of bricks hit me, it all seemed so terribly worng. I'm thinking WTF did I buy that for? I must be nuts! After all, it barely even resembled a real corvette. I must say though, the yellow one here is even uglier yet 
I got rid of it in less than 1 year. I learned to never ever do that again. Kits are for kids. I was out of my mind. Amazing I could actually sell it, but I did, and at only slightly less than my asking price.
Funny thing, I always got alot of attention in that vette, thank I do now. But that's from people who are clueless about the corvette tradition.
Therefore, that attention was useless and unsatisfying.
