Default JDM styled vette!? opinions please

playing with photoshop.

gold wheels
Carbon Fiber Hood
Lowered ~2 inches
black housing front bumper corner lights
red calipers

maybe to do?
remove body side mouldings
window tint (~20%)
front quarter panel side amber side markers (where the z06 badge is located)
smaller carbon fiber f1 style side mirrors




hehe, if some of you wonder wtf.. that's okay. lol. i came from driving two japanese cars before this. also, the corvette body shape/lines look extremely like the rx7 FD, so i think it can be pulled off

I think webshot will not allow direct linking to the photo.

Use photobucket.com instead

I will give you the standard CF polite reply - "It's your car, do what makes you happy."

You asked for opinions and "what do you think...."

Get some Japanese performance wheels... like SSRs or Works... get something worth a ****... not gold wagon wheels. Get them gold centers w/ a polished lip.

They're finally making sizes that fit corvettes and look great.

My buddy scotty has a raw cf hood...gets lots of looks.

Not my idea of Corvette in any way, shape or form. But it's your car.
