Thought I'd try this out since everyone is tearin this guy a new one. I saw this a few weeks ago and I don't think wings belong on vettes either but this one was pretty big and didn't look too bad. Not for me but I bet the kids love this one...

for the wing
for the paint
and Ronals on it too (double )

I hate those rims, they only seem to make one rim and just do it in different colors..

I do like the headlights though...

I think the flame paint job on the blue vette looks rather good, but the rear end...must be a new designed surf board holder for those living in California.

Is around town in the Broussard/Lafayette area, cause if so I think I have seen this car in passing as well. (Or at least I hope it was this car, cause otherwise it would mean there were two of them )

It was parked when I saw it though, as we passed it on the highway I didn't notice the wing, just the flames. I made comments to my wife about it then - I believe it was "You can't by taste."

But on the otherhand, I am sure the owner loves it and he thinks mine is plain and boring, so there you go.

It is the same car. The wing and I believe the yellow wheels are a recent addition.
