I like the orange color, just not wild about the graphics or some of the mods.

Not to my taste but seems to be done with a high level of craftmanship.

While it is quality work, I am not a fan of a ricer Vette.

Concept is okay but execution made parts look like "stick-ons"

I've seen "ripped open" graphics like that before but they incorporated it better with the lines of the car, made it look real. These looked like decals they just stuck somewhere.

Lot of work for the mediocre effect. Too bad.

Hmmmm ... not sure I understand the gears and stuff they painted on the car. Is it part of a "time" theme? Like time for a new paint job!!

Now I will say the airbrush artist that did the work is EXTREMELY talented, but that is not something I would do to my car.

Orange car is a local car to me and saw it in person at a car show last year. It is a nice car and makes good power but like many of you have mentioned, has a ricer look to me. Not my style at all. Hope my car comes off a lil cleaner lol
