This is just one way to say this is my car. Back in the 60's and 70's we did crazy thing that we would never hear the end of today. most of us thought those things looked great back then. Glad owner is happy with what they have done.

Come on people...
Aside from too much virtual chrome (not that this is a real car), the mesh grille (the only real change to the design) is no worse than all the carbon fiber bits (both real and fake) that many people put on their cars.
Be honest, do you really need the $10k carbon fiber package on your car to do the things you do with it...cruising, local shows, even the once a year track day?
Some cars have more CF and aero "enhancements" than you'd see in the pits at Le Mans or Sebring
Exposed CF covers on the garage door opener panel?
Panels that cover the structural panels in the engine bay?
Think of the weight a CF washer fluid cap saves on your trip to the New Balance store!
Remember that a C8 without any of that stuff is quicker in the quarter-mile.
So, if it's not necessary for the driving you do...it's just an appearance taste issue.
And one guy's opinion of taste is as legitimate as another.
