To each their own on what mods they do, but that's a bit over the top for my taste. It must be one of those rare Sport Edition models too.

[QUOTE=Red Racer;1583687867]Took wifey out to dinner this evening and happened to see the Corvette pictured below. I couldn't help myself and had to take some pictures of it. I'm thinking that the owner must have gone to the school of If A Little Is Good, A Lot Must Be Better.

Come on, Joe. Tell us how much it cost to have all those LEDs installed on your car. You must be very proud of it and blamed it on someone else so you could find out what everybody thought of your nice improvements.

I'm guessing this guy looks at my Plain Jane coupe and wonders why I don't add some custom touches to it. Maybe even posts up on the JC Whitney Forum about all the plain, boring-looking Corvettes he sees all over the place.

You never know.
