I think that look would go over big in Europe, but not no much here in the States

I'm usually not a hater, and I can appreciate all that has gone unto this car, but damn those rear fenders are not good at all.

No. I don't think so. Color is the worst offender of course, rear diffuser is wrong IMO and the flares are too wide and need scoops. The color though is by and far the thing I dislike the most. Oh and on top of all that the front end is all wrong. That said I think GM will get it just right on the upcoming Z version coming soon.

I was expecting this to be great...but groce.

When ricers have money to blow...

It could be fixed with solid black wheels without more of that terrible color

Why spend all that money only to choose such a terrible color for the car and wheels?

Might have been something special but it was ruined by the color choice.

C7 is at SEMA as we speak. If nothing more or less its definitely something to talk about.

Thanks for the comments both the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I think the rear is a bit too wide. Other than that I think it actually looks better than the stock C7. Color looks like Grabber Blue, which I like too. No matter if people like the end result, the craftsmanship cannot be denied.

I like the color, and the widebody would work better if you were running 375 series tires back there. Good luck finding any though

That car is radical and fun. Definitely a bit too much for the street but perfect for SEMA.

AN amazing undertaking and the ability to finish this in just a few weeks is nothing short of amazing. There are other companies that take months if not years to finish a kit.

Man, we sure have a lot of skinny car guys here. Me, I love the butt. Put some of TachItUp's suggested 375's in back. I can't wait to see somebody Photoshop it in different colors. Pray Chevrolet puts a body like that on the upcoming Z...
