Corvette rice??????
I saw one of these cars the other day and was talking with the guy who distribute the kits here in South Florida. Boy are they ugly. :U this guy was saying how I would start seeing these kits all over the place, I told him I didnt think so, but to each their own. You be the judge. http://www.avelate.com/splsh.htm
the back of it reminds me of a Hyundi. :lol:

Re: Corvette rice?????? (Drewdog)
You have to see one in person. The one I saw had a split window rear. The guy driving it said the only stock body panel on it was the gas filler door. Ive seen some ugly vettes in my time as well, but this was by far the worst ever. he was talking some nonsens about doing one of these to a Z06 too. :eek:

Suggested retail price of $27,500?? :eek: CRIPES!!
I've seen better, but I've seen worse, a lot worse. For $27.5K, they should be able to some up with something that looks better than that, though...

That's really not half bad. Somebody put some thought into this one. It's a far cry from the greenwood garbage.

Re: Corvette rice?????? (OrangeC4)
It looks like a C3. For the same price of the kit, you could buy a C3.

Why spend all that money for a body kit when you could buy a good C3 and own 2 Vettes :seeya

Re: Corvette rice?????? (OURRUBY)
I don’t know, I kind a like it. I’ve never been a fan of going radical with the mod’s either body or engine but I respect the ones that do. In this case you can add some of the styling cues from a C3 and still have the superior engineering from a C5.
$27,000 is a little much to spend but if you have the dough to blow....

Re: Corvette rice?????? (blk90rdstr)
Its def not rice. Its something that is kinda cool to see walking back to your car after leaving a store or something, just not something I would buy. I like looking at stuff like that, it gives it some C3 flavor. Looks decent but the C5 normally looks better and for $27K...... you must have to much money to waste if you get it. Over all its looks OK, but would never get it, just something to look at.
