So without reverse/brake lights. I'm guessing the wired the huge rear logo for lighting also right? If they did I honestly think that would be pretty cool at night especially.

They shouldve put gold rims and **** carpet on it j/k

Who in their right mind would build something like that? And then try to past it as a custom corvette. Looks Horrible!!

The "park bench style" wing is one of it's least obnoxious features.
Hard to believe there's a Corvette buried somewhere in the rest of that mess...

It's a show car...

What's the big deal? I think that's some serious fabricating... and it did what it's supposed to... Catch looks.

I give it props whenever I see someone post about it

Seen it in person... Very creative work, even though I'm not a fan of the "fiberglass sea" look.

Cars like that usually sound like **** in the stereo department too. Terrible tweeter placement, and with all that fiberglass in there, reflections are a bitch.

It is their Corvette, I would not have gone the same route, but to each there own, I would have went more power and things, but that is me.

A LOT of audio shops do outrageous things like that to cars now a day to try and fit in every aspect of what they can do into one show piece. I do have to say that as a whole, the car was not that attractive from my perspective, but piece by piece, there was a lot of cool things there....not all I would say look good on or in a Vette, but the ideas were right.
