Spotted on Mill Avenue in Temp, AZ last night. Wonder if the owner is a member here?

Car sounded great. Wrap and under carriage lighting isn't exactly my taste, but they are owning it.

While not to my taste, .. It's his car. Some people like rat rods, others don't. Some people like pure original cars, others like to chop the tops, section and channel them. It took me quite a while to understand that it's their cars and they can do with them as they please. All that said.. UGLY! BUTCHERY, but kinda cool too.

Why not post this thing in the thread that's been floating around here forever devoted to this "stuff," or at the least label the topic as another wrap.

I like it. But not for me. I really enjoy seeing and appreciating what car enthusiasts do with their rides at car shows.

Btw, I noticed in his youtube video that he has the vertical opening doors. (not sure that helps me getting in or not), but he also has deleted the exhaust tips from left/right of the C8 and there are now only 2 pipes coming out of the center.
I haven't seen that exhaust system, any idea if this is a custom one-off type setup or a product someone is selling? It sounds a bit more raw than a borla, even the ATAK. Wondering if this thing still has cats and passes emissions?

Check out the video of him tearing down the street. REALLY sounds like straight pipes to me.
