I don't understand why they (he?) stopped at six on the exhaust, should've gone with eight!

Of course, it is well known that the chrome bumper vettes are worth more than those from the rubber-bumper years...

I think that's an upside-down mid-60s Vauxhall Viva bumper. Nice! I like it!

That's unquestionably the ugliest thing I've ever seen done to a C5, both the bumper and the exhaust . Looks like an April Fools joke to me . Did this guy do some shrooms and then decide to go mod his car ?

Absolutely, the shadow on the ground is extremely easy to generate, but I've inspected it very closely in PS and the bumper is the genuine article. No way to be sure with the tail pipes, but if the bumper is the real deal it isn't a stretch to believe that the exhaust is genuine. Looks like a prop from one of those 1980's "This is your brain on drugs" commercials .

I hear you. Interesting though, why would someone do this? It can’t be for protection, at least I don't think so, I believe if anything hit's us, it will hit us license plate up, and hell, some vehicles will just roll completely over us, so what is it protecting?

Looks like this guy sold his Delorean and bought a Corvette. Seriously look at this Delorean and tell me this Vette owner is heading in the same direction?

Now remember no Delorean Jokes, I sold my Delorean to buy my Vette.

It sure looks real. Look at the left side of the chrome bumper the reflection looks like rear end of the car beside it.
