I saw this online. Has anyone tried it? If so, do you like it? (ignore the Ferrari swag)

I have seen the shields on Vette fenders....I do not like.
However, if in carbon fiber instead of yellow color... art is art.

I do like the 2023 Anniversary 70th emblems on the door.

Edit: Looking again at the photo, the door "boomerang" has an extended paint line... looks ok. Perhaps that is what the OP is questioning as side design? On the targa panel, there are aero devices. Not sure if these are a functional benefit.... do not like.

To say it looks bad is being too nice.

I’ve been pumping gas and some people ask, what kind of car is that? I guess not everyone is a car person.

This is real. There is a video of this car on Facebook and other platforms, not just a picture.

Owner says it was meant as a joke.

It's stupid.

Not wild about the graphics (or paint job if that is what it is).

No thank you. I like my cars all one color; with most of my Vettes I find that helps hide the crappola GM sticks all over them in contrasting colors.

My $.02 is that this kind of graphic works well....if you follow the lines that the body already has. The Fauxrarri stuff is terrible. This isn't that far removed from coloring a C6 vent along the body creases.

Not the worst mod I've seen (the fake Ferrari badges and wheel caps are worse), but it's pretty bad.
