.......and it still even looks like an LS1. Cool.

The truth is, I would be embarrassed to be seen in a car like that.

Definitely not my taste! But you are the owner and you like what you like. That is alot of money invested into the car, goodluck with the sale.

A little to much custom for my liking and I like custom, subtle touches. I applaud your effort to make it your own but like stated you will have to find the right buyer for it. I like the spiral grey color and the maggie though.

Way too much custom painting for me and I'm not wild about the design either. But, if this is your car, good luck with the sale. And if it is your car, this needs to go in the C5s for Sale section with a price listed.
