The fit and finish look really nice. Whoever did the mods on that vette knew what they were doing.

All the money they spent on that bodywork, yet it has the wrong offset for the wheels it has on it. The color looks good. The car itself, not so much.

Whether you like the car or not, the man has skills beyond 95% of the folks on the forum or elsewhere for that matter. I suggest following the link to his facebook page I posted above and look at what else he has built.

Other than the rear wheels being recessed (wrong offset) and the nose part sticking out way too far... it's not bad. Not good, but not bad. Love the paint.

The front end treatment is an improvement over stock. The back end; not so much. Can't say I approve of the C5 emblem on the front, either. Seems out of place on a wanna-be Ferrari.
