I dont think 512-TRs ever came out in convertibles. There is also a Dodge Viper body panel kit as well, and wouldnt you feel like a fraud driving either one of them eh??

It's not my cup of tea, but I will say it at least appears to be one of the cleanest rebodies I've seen of that ilk.

There was a company that made a 365GTB kit for the C3. That kit is not my cup of tea but it looks like it fits well! I would not do that to a C4 in good condition....that might make an interesting project for a salvage car though.

Its called POSING.

A monumental failure in taste, sense, and treatment of a Corvette.

It sucks.

Its even got the Ferrari emblems/decals on it - what a shame.

Even that billboard behind it seems to be snickering.

it gives ferraris and vets a bad name.

it also achieves the same objective, it tells fellow vetters that you are too poor for a real ferrari, and it tells ferrari owners that you are too broke to get into their club.

it does look pretty smooth. I would never want one but at least it isn't held on my duct tape and glue. and there aren't any gaps.

They would have to change the mirrors to really pull it off. Other than that, it looks like a nice kit.

I wouldn't be caught dead in it.
