Default OMG Why?

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Can't see why anyone would do this. But it's their car not mine. I think It's a C7 but i cant tell for sure.

Only thing untouched is the GM Chicklets on the rear fenders.

Obviously a C6 with aftermarket rear window rails. It looks stupid but doesn't change the appearance of the whole car.

Perhaps you don't get out much. That's a C6 kit that has been out for several years. Have seen these at car shows.

Why? because some people want their ride to look unique but what looks cool is different for everyone.

Oh, there is plenty untouched on this C6.

Wheels, Gas cap door, hard to tell, but I think that is stock exhaust…..


Chime in, what else is straight from the factory; it's not as modded as you first might think?

Uhh, count em, I think there are 4 round tail lights. Placement of the 2 back-up lights, and the rear flag too.

And I noticed..... where OP posted this

The owner evidently likes what he has so no problem. It's not sitting in a garage.
