Would you like rice with that?

The wheels alone wouldn't be bad. Not my taste, but not bad.

I read all those negative comments and I say to myself YEP that is why Corvette Owner get that bad rap....I am flabbergasted that anyone of you have been deemed to say what is and what is not right to put on a C7...Yes you have your opinions...like we all do .... but to say he CAN'T do that ... it makes US look bad....is NONSENSE.

Anyone can and should do whatever they want to their cars.....Why it BOTHERS most of you is the REAL problem.

I'd offer that a mess of a car like that would get the same kind of comments regardless of what car it is. And, this is a chat board; you know, where people give their opinions.

Did not say what he can't do, obviously he can and did!

And any group of folks who love their brand/model vehicle will comment with laughing and horror when someone mods like this.

For instance, this pic posted on another site I'm on has drawn very similar comments from Jeep folks.

I like the wheels, the flares, splitter, and the red/white theme. Something about unique custom mod'ed cars taken a bit over the top puts them in a different league than stock.

For the sake of going all the way, though, the brown seats don't really go with the theme. It needs a white interior (or maybe two tone red/white).
