Default C5 going ricer

I found this in the great lakes section. I can't believe somebody would do this to there corvette. At least it isn't one of us C4 owners. Somebody needs to get medievil on his buttocks

Kinda reminiscent of the mid-50's Buick Roadmasters that had lights in the portholes on the sides of the hoods.

I'm not sure I'd do it, either but it has some flair and it's reasonably subtle (unless the lights flash as you drive along!) :eek:

Another forum member and friend of mine(a C5er no less) did that to his also. I gave him a lot of crap for it, but he's my mechanic, so I had to tell him I was just joking around.

i THink i can honestly say thats the first time i have ever seen neon lights in any application on any car nevermind a corvette that i can say i like. Its no blaring look at me, but its just enough to set him apart from a lot of other cars.
