Custom Lighting Gone Wild...

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.

Afterwards, we just happened to drive by where he was parked and so I thought I'd take a few closeups so I could get some ideas of how to "customize" my Vette....

Notice those led lights on all the leading edges which provided that really bright front end seen in the first 2 pics...

Next up is the customized hood featuring what look like heat extractors just in front of the windshield and the C6 Z06-style nose.

Next, a look at the rear diffuser which looks like it's about t...h...i...s close to fitting properly...

Finally, it's all good because we know that this is a "Sport" Corvette...the badge on the rear-spoiler says so.

J.C. Whitney must be somewhere out there smiling....

I wonder if the front splitter and rear diffuser would look decent if they were painted.

The lighting though is hidious.
