I bet this car will look even better with the stock hood, no wing, and without that horrible gas cap!

Oh and the rear brake ducts to be left in black or carbon fiber...
AMEN!!! with all that going on its just way to much and the stripes have to go too.. i love the kit, but there's to much other crap going on and it looks clutered

Corvettes look just fine the way they are. I would never buy a body kit for mine, but thats just me!

I like it! It looks like it belongs on the track - in a world class event!

and then ending up as a collectors edition

Thanks,Matt

That thing is absolutly hideous. The only thing i like is the rear fender flares due to the ability of putting a wider tire in the rear...To each his own but that almost made me vomit.

I actually think it looks ok...at least the body kit. Maybe lower the Vette a bit to fill the wheel gaps and get some deep dish rims for the back. Otherwise I would go for it if I wanted to add a body kit...Indy

The car needs to be lowered!! But the rest of the car looks great, especially if he was going for a racing theme.

Normally I'm not a big fan of this style rear wing, but I think it I actually think it works on this car.

I really like the molded in look that you get with the Specter Werkes rear fascia wit integrated spoiler!

It looks like a "street racer" to me (the wheels are the give a way or is it the automatic transmission?). Is that the image you want to present, if so wearing a helmet will help.
