Not something I would ever do to a car (C5 or not), but the owner can sure say it is unique.

I'm sorry that is disgraceful. Why ruin a perfect good car plus pay that much money for a pint job like that.

I'm betting it's a wrap...and an extremely bad one at that.

Gotta love the C5...probably one of the most widely modded cars with the widest spectrum of tastes (or lack thereof).

You're always as nice and respectful as possible...even when IMO...it's impossible.

Wrap and not a good one, whom ever did it didn't took the time to make a good trimming. Maybe the owner did it, who knows, I was hoping for the person to showed up to ask. No luck...

Looks like it could be cured with salve or a strong analgesic ointment.

I wonder if it looked better in the past and is now faded, but it couldn't have looked that much better, come to think of it.

While I value the self expression, other people still have to look at the results, it's not just about one person with a lot of shelf paper , free time and a corvette.
