Looks like a swollen big toe. I prefer the stock body much better.

I dunno... I'm not big on body kits and bling, but that's not bad at all, as far as bodies go... I like it, for what it is.

Seen it and didn't like how they mold the gas doors and door handles areas. It does not blend in with the body IMHO. There a yellow one that the owner did some changes to it that made it look much better. I'll try to locate the photo

Why, oh why, does every aftermarket body design HAVE to have a big azz front end with ground effects? I've only seen 1 or 2 that look good, and all the rest make the vette look like, well, er... like it's storing nuts in it's cheeks! Yeah, let's make it look BETTER! Let's make it look LESS unique!
Just my $.02. I think this body kit looks better than some others, but for me, I'd rather put the money into some RELIABLE performance mods that WILL make the car go faster.
