That's a C6 not a C5, still though.

What a HOOFTY. Not only ugly but Butt ugly. Oh ya it said from a 2005 C5. Don't they know the last year for C5's was 04. What a waste of a good corvette. All it needs is a glow kit and 26" wheels. :smash :

That is horrible... also if it was done in 2011 why did they start with an 05... they chose the worst year of C6, and made it shittier.
Complete waste of time and money, and ended with a piece of ****.

You guys are really tough critics. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean to the owner it's any less unique and sharp.
Personally, I think it looks quite..................fugly!!!!

If Clark Griswold had a sports car, that would be it.

I have never liked that car except as it was intended and that was a movie/concept car. As a production version Corvette, I would have had to jump ship. But I must admit, who ever did the work on this was very good.
