Just plain weird to mess up a vetted that bad! But there have always been horrible mods at least it this only cost 300 bucks. I got a buddy who put 24 inch rims on a Lexus 250 and he had to cut the fenders and put spacers in the springs. Rides like a little red wagon on stilts. No one will rise with him anymore but he thinks it is a sweet ride.

I will say that is really bad - why would someone want to do that to their car?

I wish I had a picture....across the street from my son's place is a shiny red C6-it is covered with decals such as flaming woodpeckers clenching cigars in their mouths, and Mattel Hot Wheels decals.

Why in the name of All Things Good in this world would someone do such a thing??

BTW, if you live in the Boise area maybe you'll see this car, LOL

I actually saw one of these today near my house. You can't believe how really bad this looks in person!

I saw one on a C6 a few years ago, and couldn't believe that a person would commit such a travesty.

When Vetteman Jack says it's really bad, it MUST be horribly, hideously bad.
