That's definately original...kind of makes it look like a Trans-Am though.

Gee, wasn't that car featured in the movie "Corvette Summer?" See what happens when everything else on the car works fine? People start messing around with the appearance.

I like the tennis shoe remark--very accurate.

Interesting WOULD be ONE word that comes to mind.... Not my taste but I've seen much tackier body mods on C4s.

Modifications should be kept under the hood, not on top of it.

perhaps we should all buy the crappiest c4s we can, add EVERY body part we can find, splash on some funky paint, put in HUGE speakers, a HUGE 5 inch diesel engine exhaust tip, a monstrous spoiler and off course... a v-tec v6. Then sell for $50k to a high schooler... almost for got the nitrous, lol
