The ugliest vette ever

I went grocery shopping yesterday and as I was looking for a spot to park my car at the mall, I saw the ugliest C5 vette of all time!!!!! It was actually all stock but the one "mod" that was done to it ruined it completely. The guy had one of those fast and furious spoilers on it. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, just picture an old school tv antenna fixed to the back of your car. What a disservice to the vette. That car must be cringing every time it goes out!!!

Could be uglier than you think. You couldn't see if it had Lambo doors or neon. Some F&F is stealth.

It seems like this trend is diminishing over time. Anyone remember how hacked up C3's would get with oversized wheel flares, crazy phychadelic paint jobs, wire wheels ect...

Easy on the Lambo doors there, ....No I don't have them, but my C5 IS a daily driver and there has been more than a few times that the ONLY available parking has come with high curbs or close quarters and a lift door would have been really nice. However I have only seen lifting Lambo doors on show queens where they are used an attention getters and functionality has nothing to do with it. What a waste of effort for bling.

Now when it comes to the wings, I'm with ya all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are useless at best at any street or autocross speed. I usually refer to wings on street cars as 'Push bars'

Cheers!
