How flattering for the Corvette. No matter what kind of parts are used, you still have a CORVETTE!!

The newer body still vipers don't retail resale value like the "original" vipers... I've seen them for as little as ~ $30,000. The body work, labor hours, paint, wheels, lighting etc. might actually put you pretty close (if trying to tackle this conversion).

As body kits go, that's not horrible. To each his own.....but why destroy one of the best looking automobiles ever built at any price?

Even the kit manufacturer is suggesting you don't use a perfectly good C4 with the kit...cause they know how gaff that would be. I could see buying back your totaled car and making a salvaged titled, C4, viper thing...and then listing on craigslist for us to create a thread about someday.

I an sure that putting that all together is a certified PITA
I am toying with the idea of building a Fiero Super car
LT1, upgraded brakes and suspension, g6 trans, Mid engine monster
wont look as cool as the c4 but it would be a fun little rocket
