I would love to see all of the attention that would get driving around. The ride must be teeth jarring with about 3/4" rubber between the ground and the rim. I think I could tone that down some and really enjoy it.

It probably is a real crowd pleaser. Just not a forum pleaser!

Where is the fail 
I really like it, I wouldn't pay 40k for it but I would love to have it in my driveway. Some of it I don't care for but overall you can tell a lot of time and money went into it and looks to be well built.

It is pretty bad, but someone really liked it.Yeah you sound like the typical corvette owner. Let me guess your car is bone stock. In fact, post a picture of your car, show us how's it's done.
If it doesn't look like everyone else's it's terrible lol
Props to the owner of that car for thinking outside of the box.
It's personal preference. Get over it. You shake your head and move on lol

I'll pay him $3k over asking price to push it off of a cliff. 
Hopefully he enjoyed it...because IMO he won't be getting near asking price for it.
Can't really hate on a Vette owner but definitely not my taste (the bling mods or car-show only oriented build).

Its actually sad to hear some of the comments here. There are some nice aftermarket goodies on her. Someone will buy it, doubt he will get his price. These cars are made to have fun with and looks like he has had lots of fun with this one. Really that's all that counts. You don't like it or the price? Who cares! Why drive negativity on someone's dream car and thrash him on the forum? Some of you need to grow up.

honestly this ones not that bad, little overdone for my taste yet atleast it has a theme it seems to follow and its not just all over the place. For a showcar its not bad at all. I like it actually. The amount of people on this forum that hate aftermarket anything on these cars amazes me. You guys really need to open up your spectrum and look at what else is out there. And nitpicking the badges? really? who cares, you guys are ridiculous

And while I agree some of what was done to that ride wasn't terrible, to me it's like ketchup on a 2" thick Kobe ribeye - a ruined, goddamn waste. Again, my opinion. Don't like my opinion? IDGAF.
Now, I hope the PC Police don't come along and haul me away for my words. Someone, somewhere might get "offended" by what I said and, in the land of "everyone gets a trophy so no one feels bad or left out," that's just not allowed.

I much prefer stock cars, but this one appears well done for it's intention. I'd take it over a C7 body style. It would take trophies from stock C5's at every car show in the US, if that's what you wanted to do with it.

Different Opinion
I like it overall. For 1/2 the asking price it's worth it. I would tone it down a bit and sell off the excess stuff. Certainly not a fail by any means at all. Boring to have all C5's look stock or close to it for everyone. Originality means more to some than others. Kind of like all the guys riding Harley's today. Baggers, black, chrome, stock. Modifying/customizing vehicles the stirs the creative soul, but the risk of diverse outcomes is inevitable. Short curt pompous arrogant judgmental posts just label you and don't advance the constructive dialogue of whether you like or dislike the build. Try being more rational and expansive in your critique instead of just fail.
More interesting for all reading this thread.
Just my general opinion on things. No offense meant to anyone.

Sad that people are expressing THEIR personal opinions? God forbid, right? After all, the world we live in is all sunshine and puppies where nothing bad is done or said to or about anyone anymore!

Are you offended? I hope not, Mr. Gary is a equal opportunity stirrer.
Just for the record, I don't like the car myself.

My biggest gripe with the car isn't the car itself, it's what he's asking for it. It's a $15k car stock, and that's close to what an insurance company will insure it for...why in god's name would someone pay $40+k for it and risk being out $30k if it gets totaled? Plus, how does a guy with a business and all that money sunk into a car not know how to use "you're" and spell "lose" haha..
