Wow, those are the most crooked exhaust pipes I've ever seen. Who the hell worked on that car? Stevie Wonder?

Wow...thats pretty bad! Im shocked the dealer isnt pulling that graphic off. It kind of looks like a vinyl graphic, not paint. Everyone has there own taste...some are just WAY out of touch! like being tone deaf...sounds good to you...but to everyone else

One can only hope............

Then you just have to remove the rear emblem, the front plate frame, and then fix the exhaust.......

That's gotta be the ugliest paint job ever - and somebody paid to have it done! Unless their 3 year old did it for free.

Yep,, a real fixer upper!!! The graphic was sooo overdone ,,I didnt even realize it was supposed to be Z06!! At least you could read it on the C4!! Almost 18 Gs with that crap on it,,and with 94K on it,,I don't think so!! Get rid of the graphics,, the other stuff is easily fixed. No mention of tranny type either. I'd say it's A SWING AND A MISS!!
