I like the wheels on it. The rest of the car doesn't really get my attention though.

Love the wheels! With regard to the rest, everyone has their own tastes, but I think the wing is a little too much.

my apologies to the owner or builder of this in advance for what i am about to opinionate. if they wanted to look like a honda civic it probably would have been alot cheaper to build THAT.
The wing reminds me of my Chinese cousin... Uhg Lee

Whoops, didn't mean to offend you guys..sorry 'bout that.

Coming from jeepforum, where people like to post up an ugly Jeep every other day, it gets old and that's probably where my cynicism comes from.

Carry on..

Oh yes...as with any vehicle, people can ruin it..

Not sure where the "ugly harley" example comes in..?

IMO, a stuck Jeep is the most beautiful...it shows the Jeep at its limits, which is where it is meant to be taken..

Again, not sure where you are going with the stock vette scenario..

Either way, they are still vettes/jeeps, and I'll still wave...

That's ok then.. The pic just doesn't show the color that clearly, so I thought it's Pewter since the car is an FRC.

EDIT: It actually is pewter! Here's the ad.. Good luck hunting the creator down

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I think it's overdone and takes away from the beautiful lines of the C5
