Not a fan of the "camo", at all. Furthermore, while I'm a fan of late 70s Trans Ams, as well as the AR style 234 rims, they just don't look right, together, as demonstrated by the T/A in the background of the picture.

It's clearly a track car with a wrap. Look at the wing mounts.
And for a track car, it looks pretty good.
Worry about your own high horse.

I've seen worse stuff - in my opinion - posted by some forum members here that others oohed and ahhed over. Who cares what someone else does with their car? Make yours look the way you want yours to look.

That's the beauty of wraps. They just peel right off. Hopefully the paint isn't trashed.

Having seem some of the "lips, spoilers and diffusers" posted here, I have to agree. Some pretty ugly stuff there, IMO.

No one said you had to have good taste to own a Corvette.
