Default Corvette to Batmobile

What can I do, besides putting fins on and getting a batcave, to make a C5 corvette look more like the batmobile?

I just want to hear what y'all have to say about it. I just thought it would be funny to hear what kinds of ideas are out there.

Here's what one crazy-a$$ dude did:

I'm sure y'all have seen it before.

I was thinking of the same thing once the C5 becomes a little more affordable with 100k miles on it. If your a Batman fan it would be cool to drive to shows and get togethers etc. I'll be waiting to see how you make out.

OMG the pics from that link is hideous. Looks nothing like a Batmobile.

Why would you want to make your car like the Batmobile anyway? You want to live your life in a comic book fantasy?

That's just awesome! I want one.

There is a member on the forum with plates BTMOBLE (I think) who might have something to contribute.

Different strokes for different folks. Personally I wouldn't do that to a Vette, but it's his money.

Sorry I think you all misunderstood me. I am in no way planning on doing what that dude did to his vette to a c5. That's why I called him crazy. I think the C5 looks like a batmobile stock too. I was talking about market available exterior mods that would make it look more stylish, batmobile-esque(?). I was just putting that link up to show an extreme of someone modding their C5.

For example, I know one of the members made those really nice looking extra large fenders/wheel wells. I was talking about stuff like that or stuff that is readily available off the market.

I'm not crazy... I swear I'm not!

Why waste a beautiful car on an ugly comic book car?

Yeah, THIS is what I'm talking about. I was just using the word "Batmobile" to get that image across of stealthy, with some of the features of the movie car.

On nikolai's c5 the spoiler and the custom hood look great. That's the kind of mods I was interested in knowing more about.
