Never saw a Vette "murdered out" before. Looks sick but probably a trend that will go the way of chromalusion paint.

He has a burned out tail light! lol and that exhaust is pretty bad ***. I like the metal bolts around it which I guess holds it in place?

Yeah, someone needs to product a good looking hood like that one! Pretty much all of the aftermarket C5 hoods are either ricey or just plain ridiculous looking.

You guys crack me up... LOL

It still looks better than all those "chromed and garishly decorated" "pieces of crap" Vettes that show up on this site every week...

Did any of the spit n polish "stick on yet another chromed out cover and carbon fibre cover panel" ever stop to think about what people say about their cars behind their backs?

Different strokes for different folks - I like it

My best time this year was 10,6sec 1/4mile.
Had some problem with traction on that run but pretty good.
60 foot/1,5sec.

Like walking in the supermarket and you see a woman with gigantic fake tata's. You know you shouldn't look, and you try not to stare. I can't stop staring at your C5. Nice Tata's!
