All the hard edges take away from the smooth, sleek curves that make C5's so beautiful in the first place (in my opinion). That picture link made me cringe worse than most of the bad stuff from Off Topic.
Glad you enjoy it, though. To each their own.

uh, has your hood got the mumps...genital warts... or a chronic case of teenage acne?
Sorry not for me.... But then, I don't even like body side moldings...
So what I like doesn't matter to anyone else....
If you are pleased and proud that's all that counts.

It will look better if you lower it. You can't have a body kit on a car that high off the ground. It's just all wrong. Will look cool once you put some 19 inch rims on it, those lights in the front end and lower it as low as possible.

Hold on guys... its mostly (entirely) the fault of that hood.
Nice clean hood and the liscence cover (not to mention lowering) and it wouldn't be getting nearly as bad of reviews.
I'd say it looks like a lot of hard work has been put into it, but the hood is just killing it.
Try putting your factory hood back on and shave the louvre humps off the front fenders.

I just looked at the hood again. This time I spent about 20 seconds looking at it. It's just terrible. I just can't get over how much stuff is on it. I mean what is all that stuff supposed to do anyways. It looks like it has mini blinds and all kinds of other stuff going on.

I agree, for future mods maybe dropping the stance a bit. Also, some accents might help out in the paint area. It sorta looks like an incomplete Ertl model kit at the moment.
Corvette Summer. That was a good one.
BTW... isn't that car at Mid America in Effingham now?
