You know, there's one problem I have with this kit:

http://www.caravaggiocorvettes.com/dev2007/g3_i3.html

The lines are all wrong. If the front spoiler line was at the same angle as the scoop in the door, and then the rear spoiler line was a continuation of the door scoop, this would be a awesome kit. But the two different angles just kills my eye travel across the car. I would love to redesign that kit.

I compare it to looking at a woman with nice long legs. The lines appeal to you all the up or down, depending on where you like to start you gaze. A car's lines should do the same thing.

Frankly, I'd like to shoot the guys who designed something like this:



That's just freakin' fugly.

They can afford to do a face lift!

$495 for a console lid

$495 for sunvisor BTW, I did mine for less than $50!



Better off with VE

Uh, interesting color combo. You're right about the prices, though. Total madness. I bought a few pieces from Redline, and they're a screaming bargain.

I love this look........It looks like a chopped top vette!

Must be an artist rendition as it looks kinda stretched out



BUT!,I wonder if anyone has accomplished this look?

Anyone seen this done before?

They still need to proof read their home page. Maybe elsewhere too. I'm amazed at how much money people spend on web site/page design and neglect things like syntax/spelling, etc. If you're going to walk-the-walk, then you need to talk-the-talk too. The "image" one is trying to portray can easily get shot down by things like that.

I honestly can't find anything wrong with the site or the prices. If you want something that's top noch, go fot Caravaggio. If you can't but still want an exciting new interior, go for VE.

I still like Caravaggion seats though, pretty slick.

What hood is that?

Caravaggio sure knows how to **** up a nice car... those rear fender flares are the most god awful things I have ever seen on a C5.
