I really don't understand why everyone is making Ferrari-esque body panels for these cars.

If you want the Ferrari look, spend a bit more and actually get the Ferrari.

Although you would have to spend quite a bit more for the Ferrari I agree.

I don't understand why anyone would want a Ferrari looking Vette in the first place.

Same reason why I wouldn't put crossed flags on a Ferrari.

Personally, I think that looks very good (although I'd have to see it in the flesh). Regarding the Ferrari look-a-like comments, I'm not sure I agree. So what if it does look reminiscent of an F430 / 599 hybrid from the rear? It's hardly a bad look! Besides, the stock rear looks Ferrari-esque as it is with the four round tail lights!

This is one of the best bodykits I have seen on a Vette.

Cheers,
Ian.

I agree, looks pretty mean. Of course, to each their own.
