At least they kept the stance original; ala 4x4.

Not my taste at all, but I do respect the work that was done. The stance is wrong and they shaved most of the contours that I love about the C5.

Are those C6 headlights? I sorta like the idea of the C6 lights and the LED strip on the front corners.

Ugly, but it would look a lot better slammed. IMO

It resembles this kit with shaved handles and a new front end and hood.



If the front end wasn't quite as wide, I would love this kit.I am liking the rear half a lot!

As far as a modded Vette goes it looks great. The body flows well. Doesn't look like it was an addon. Looks factory. That being said. I wouldn't drive it.

i think that is due to the air bags on the suspension.

The interior looks interesting but I would pass on the exterior. Not a big fan of the wide body look.
