I'd take it to Jason at Airhead Kustoms and have him make a few body mods first.

I see some potential there. For one, the two front air scoops if directed to the front brakes should handle any brake fade. Not a big fan on that raised hood though.

I'm sure the design enginees will take care of the gaudiness in the design before production. I sure as hell hope so. I'm already saving up for my C7, but if that is it, I will get a GS instead

Thicken-up the A pillar for strength and side window operation, and it's ready to go.
