Looks like the Hawaiian Punch got mixed with the Lemonade.

I like the "smoothie" interior doors! ..... but thats about it. The paint color
was apparently selected for 'attention getting' and not for aesthetics - IMO.

I hope this isn't anyone here on the Forum - cause I don't want to criticize someone else's car, but.......

This is a classic example of "If a little bit is enough, than too much is just right...."

Hate the color and the headlights, but love the way they did the doors.

To each his freakin own.

why would you smooth over the corvette lettering on the front of the car but still leave that lic. plate cover? It would have been nicer to smooth over the whole thing and get rid of the cover

Now are you saying mine looks better just cause I am a forum member.
The color looks a little fadded out but then again it could be just the pix. The lights are very intresting...they dont look like they line up on the top.
The door is pretty nice but they need to add a little black to contrast it. I love to have a little orange on my door..LOL
The center piece is also intresting, never seen the carpet area done in that fashion. Not really my taste but its intresting, thanks for sharing and the compliment.
Jon

I like everything about the car except the headlights. All of the scenery in the pictures looks a little faded so I think it's the camera and not the paint. Love the wheels (for obvious reasons ).

There's something REALLY wrong with thoise lights. I think it's touched up in fact. one one side the outboard light is shaved off, on the other side the inboard light is shaved off!

They had to make the light fit, I think one of the main things this person is showing is his custom fiberglass fab ability, he is good.
