Call me crazy but i actually like it. Was it painted on or is it pinstripes? Pinstripes would be crappy on a 70K car. Looks even more futuristic. Would never do it to my car but would be nice to see in person. Ok... Flame away!! LOL

Definately pin stripe tape- enlarged the picture on my iPad. Thank goodness, I'm sure this phase in the owners life will pass. Now the answer to the question; Because.

Well he has pretty much guaranteed that nobody else will have a C7 exactly like his... Fortunately!

I guess enough alcohol can make almost anything appear to be a good idea but since my Jim Beam is currently residing in the cabinet my current vote is to file it under hideous.

Maybe the owner has a body shop or the like and this is an advertising ploy.

Since it looks to be pinstripe, maybe the guy is experimenting to see what does look good.

Hell, I've considered doing something to my car such as a wrap with a Seahawks motif...yes, with the lime green

One things for sure, the owner has polarizing tastes. Could always be worse.

If they would have stopped at just the tail lights, it would probably have been perfectly fine especially if it had matching yellow calipers. Ah well. Whatever tickles your pickle I guess...
