There are some ugly Vettes, but after reading all of the posts, some people are confusing ugly with personal preference.

Someone mentioned chrome wheels were ugly ...I don't particularly care for black wheels or black wheels with a colored lip, but just because that is not my thing, I don't think it makes it ugly.

As someone said before, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and they may like the way something looks that you don't. Sure, some people may take it a little far, but it is theirs to do with as they wish...if you don't like it, why not buy it from them and make it the way you think it should look.

I don't get WHY someone would spend all that money to make their car look so terrible. I don't know of ANYONE who could think that looks good. 6 exhaust pipes? 6 lights? Spinners?
Thats exactly what ricers do......spend a lot of money to look dumb!!!

Look at No. 2. Can you believe someone took a '63 split window and butchered it? Took it from $100k to $10k.
