There are some interesting items in this picture I wish it was clearer, like what is on the roof and what is the strange fin on the back of it.

Hell with that, I think the chick in the skirt is more interesting.


As for my thoughts on the hood, to each his own. Not my cup of tea.

I dont like any mod on the exterior of that car. Rims look good but would look better on a f-body then a vette.

The thingy on the roof is a spotlight for deer hunting. The fin on the back is actually a deer rack.

Why the hell would anyone buy a vette and then spend all that money trying to make it look like a 1980 Camaro?
