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.

all you need now is to retrofit a 2.0L VTEC and it's complete!
Seriously though, it's your car do what you want...

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