Needs a set of those wire wheels on it that have the centers that stick out about a foot!
Maybe even some 24's, oh, wouldn't that look "dope"!!!

Is it worse than a moustache on the Mona Lisa? Winning a gold medal and getting it bronzed? Not even close, that C8 (C of course stands for CHROME) is a winnah!

I believe there would be enough folks to buy the bling Vette that would be profitable to GM.

Some of the recent Cadillacs prove that taste is not a prerequisite for higher-end automobile ownership.

Don't think it's real, AI.

Few would have the resources to build that grille. Even with 3D printing.
This isn't the 50-60s when Barris or Jeffries could cobble something together out of leftovers.

I actually like the body color and I'm not too against the stainless look grill and rear end, but the front grill obviously needs to be closed down to resemble the current Corvette look.

I think future iterations of the Corvette might have some of the black disappearing and more body color added in those locations or perhaps some of this stainless look. I say stainless look because I don't think Chrome gives the right look.

It was cool to see..

I’ve seen a real chrome front splitter on the Reddit Corvette page.

That looks like a 1980's Lee Iacocca Plymouth Reliant K car mixed with a Lincoln town car - mixed with a C8 ! crazy !
