You say that all the time, but that doesn't change the fact that their car looks like garbage. Fortunately, most of us mod tastfully, but there's a select few on here who spend too much time in the Ecklers/JC Whitney catalogs and ruin the Vette image for the rest of us.

Or maybe it's the other way around... the guy realized he had too much stuff on it so he decided to take some stuff off and "tone it down" a bit?

There are plenty on here that I think are hideous, and even more that are just ridiculously overdone but since I have insulted about half of the people on here in the last couple of weeks, I'll refrain.

Seriously you guys should have seen the Ocean City show it was so terrible I almost wanted to leave. I seriously was looking around and didn't want to be seen in that lot after a few of the cars that I saw

It was seriously sad. Just terrible things to do to a vette.

Here's one I photographed awhile back, can't remember were.

I think it's the skeeter bass boat addition.
