Didn't even do a very good job with it. I'm not sure how he managed to win 23 awards with that.

As simple as it seems to just add the rear split, I've seen it on a C6 and now a C5, it just doesn't work. It's a great idea but not executed well at all. Maybe it should be added to the C7.....

Another reason to laugh about car shows. Seeing cars like that win 23 awards makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

I'm not sure if it's the aluminum split window divider, the Lambo doors or the red wheel trim that secures the wins?!

The rear window divider, lambo doors and red wheels just doesn't look right to me. Something that kinda makes me shake my head.

The back end looks like the front end on the Batmobile in Batman Forever.
