Caught this one at an NCRS auction a few years ago. Not really too bad, but think about how much it would hurt your eyes after a week or two of driving it:

Actually there is 2 sets of pods. One on the drivers side (look carefully behind the visor, you can just make it out)
and the one on the passenger side.

Ok no offense to the owner if he should be on here. But this is living proof that some people just have too much
money and not enough taste. There really should be a corvette handbook when it comes to design taste lol. Thats just my opinion.

Actually this brings up a great thread to start a new reality TV show. Auto Designers. It can have all the current
styles and do's and dont's for automobile detailing and design.

Personally I hate the painted front license surrounds:



Nothing against the rest of the car (it's clean and sharp). But I think the painted covers are cheap and tacky looking. Just my opinion.
