The
rear isn't too bad, IMO. Would look better if the spoiler width matched the width of the car, but still not terrible overall.
Now...those side vents...uhh...
It conflicts with every other body line on the side of the car.

I like it.
Gotta give her credit for creativity. Maybe her next car will be a Corvette.

I think it looks fine. Had that been the OEM design, most would have completely accepted it and mostly liked it. However, I don't care for the car OEM, and if I were going that route, the Mustang is better looking hands down.

Very true. The wickerbill is pretty damned silly on the street serving no useful purpose and is actually detrimental.

Figure the cost in time, energy, and dollars, and it probably would have been cheaper to buy a Corvette. Just applying C7 details to a Camaro ends up with proportions that are all wrong--and that tell you why professional car designers deserve their pay.
