Just not my can of Pepsi at all(don't do tea)
, except maybe the seats if redone in black.
I know he does some nice work but I never have gotten the diamond pattern on the console bottoms 
I'm sure there's probably a purpose or certain reason for it but to me it looks like it should neon some seats from the 50's or something. Kinda like throwing some diamond plate floor mats in your new CTS V.
But to each their own I say, and if we all like the same thing then we all would be waking up between Olivia Wilde & Megan Fox.

I feel bad that the haters are so obvious. Could someone spend less money to get more bang for the buck? Sure. I see financial jealousy rearing its ugly head. Spank him all day? Why would anyone say that..? there are some 8 second Honda civics with less than 30K invested. Vette Doctor and ECS both have 8 second cars with much less than 130K invested.

The interior is nice but I think the rest of the car looks like crap, big waste of money, not a fan of wide bodies, plus he is only making 550hp and can't hook with the 345/25/20. This guy was a tool bag with too much money to burn, got disturbed when I said I had $45k in mine and would spank him all day long!
It's a nice car to look at, however I would have invested the other $50K into a new C6Z!
I like the interior, but I've never been a fan of the grandma's quilt pattern trim. I would rather have plush carpeting. The wheels are nice and I like colors.

I thought I was bad in terms of spending money on the car in mods. 
Car looks good, but IMO the interior would have looked better with a little more color to it.

C'mon Blitz! We all know that those who spend the most money on their cars expect to win the show trophies!

Not how I would have spent the money if I still wanted a C5, but hey, spending money like that is good for the economy. The only body kit I ever liked was to make a Corvette look like a Ferrari and I guess that is blasphemy. At least then if somebody asked you if it was a kit car you could say "no, it is a custom Corvette". I wouldn't want to have to say it was a VW kit car!

That interior makes me think, if Liberace owned a C5.
$130 grand? How does that happen? Just keep driving your car to different vendors and get the catalogs out?
I wonder if the owner did ANY of the work himself?
