PAINT IN JET BLACK and ADD CHROME RIMS and it will be a real cool look.

You don't need all that junk on there to make the car look good, it can do that by itself. Kills me to see all those guys who add so much junk to their already nice rides making them look so stupid and teeny-bopperish.

Keep the Corvette classy.

I like it. Different. Sharp wheels too. But what do I know, I ordered a JSB Smurfmobile.

To each his own, I guess.

The same could be said by a certain person on here about the widebody conversions (I think those are too cool).

Now, this car to me is ugly as sin. Looks like it will be on Fast and the Furious 3 - American Rice.

Tastefullt done exterior upgrades (ala Greenwood Vettes, Callaways etc..) look tasteful and can make the car (which is already gorgeous) really pop.

But that? Um, no thanks.

Not a fan of the color but the body kit is not that bad. It would be a nice alternative to the Z clones.

For the same reason that ALMOST everyone runs the same few wheels. Yes, our offsets are weird, but pick something different and look out!

I like the Geiger too!

Not bad. The silver one looks better than the pumpkin color.

Actually; the front bumper and rear fascia of this vehicle were advertised on ebay awhile back by a vendor. They are available from Geiger which is a Munich Germany based tuning company specializing in American performance automobiles.

From what I recall; these are very high quality components manufactured in Germany from injection molded plastics (not a cheap fiberglass piece) and if I recall correctly; the rear bumper fascia was approx $2500 alone with the front bumper being the same price.

A closer look also shows that the rear fenders are "wide body", but do not have the Z06 fender ducts.

I actually like it alot and think it lends itself well to the C6 lines. The front bumper is very aggressive looking.
