No. He simply can't afford one. If he could he would have one. In 99% of cases if you can afford a C6, you can afford to have a body job done on a C4. Him talking like he could actually get a C6 because the C4 crowd has to many "low lives" is laughable. If you have that kind of coin your not slapping on Toretto style body kits with no performance mods.

HOLY CANNOLI!!!

I did not have a chance to get online this weekend and I am kind of glad. As a NOOBIE here on the forum I am personally shocked at the way some of you talk to each other.

I am almost sorry I started the thread. To each their own with your cars. Some like effect kits, some dont. Some like cars all original, some don't. But to bash each other ???

I am new and yes we all have opinions so I choose to keep mine to myself on this. For those of you who gave me your opinion, thank you.

And for those who choose to come online and try to belittle someone else. I feel sorry for you and your sad little life. I have posted a few times and not so sure how much I will post again. I thought this was a forum to discuss Corvette's. Not a place to make someone feel inferior or less than.

Buttercup, It's your car, do what you like. I have done some changes to my car that the purists most likely don't like and I could give 2 shi-s. Could I recommend new wheels and a buff out?

Thank you .... Yes, I have found a new set of wheels, just got to go get them put on and my car is actually in line to be re-painted. Trying to get some much needed interior work done and thanks to some great peep on here I have gotten several parts.

Don't stop posting, I don't know what happened last night, but it shouldn't affect you. All you did was ask for an opinion and we gave it to you, some people just get too passionate about these things and it showed on this thread.

Thanks... I love my car. For that matter, I love all cars! (there are only a few that I do not care for) I grew up around cars and some people are more passionate that others.

Further, stupid threads like this should not even be started. It is like asking "Is bigger better" and no I dont have a problem there.
This thread was started BY the OP to get opinions. Try not to take them so personally.

To everyone else- anyone ever seen a body kit molded in? I think the C4 cuts off a little high at the doors and seems it would look better if it were dropped a bit more square, but molded in.

Anyone want to try a photo shop?

Most idiotic statemtent Ive heard is someone bought XX car because if they had XX money they would have bought a newer one.

Says who? Maybe some like that bodystyle, personally I just wanted a cheap toy I could play with so I had a distraction while I built something else thats (not that it matters) cost a damn fortune.

Not everyone likes new and some dont have to spend every dime in their pocket just cause they can.

So if theres so much hate for the car and the owners what are the trolls doing in this section in the first place, maybe slumming a bit?

This thread is awesome. For a change I'm not even the one arguing!


Although, there is one thing that I really am not understanding. I could pay cash for a C6 today if I wanted. I also own a C4 with a body kit and do all of my own work on all of my cars. How the **** are those things related to each other?

This is about the most stupid statement I have heard. My car is stock no mods what so ever that is me that is how I like it. Does not mean I dont like other mods or that I do to each his on on that it is their car. When you start to relate what a person does to their car compaired to what they can afford is obsord. a lot of people on here get as much pleasure doing things themselves as driving the car. Does not mean they can not afford something it is fun a pleasure a releife you are so off track with that statement. Where did you get your stastices from (99%)??????????????
