You know.... I can't say I like it but I really can't say I hate it either. But I think it would grow on me. It's most definately different. And for the most interesting thing is that we got people in Saudi Arabia representing the Thirdgen love. how cool is that? Definately an A+ for originality!

I wanna see the V12... I like the door handles, although I would have put them higher up on the door. The interior work looks kinda crappy too, like they just rattle canned everything. I think the back end would look better without the spoiler too, more like how the 5th gen looks. Not sure about the flip up mirrors too, those are supposed to go on escalades and stuff, so you can park in a tight spot without losing a mirror.

Looks more like a Chrysler 300 than a third gen to me. I am assuming the mirrors turn when the car is actually driven. However, it would be interesting to look in your mirror and see all the nice clouds behind you .
wish i had the $$$$$ that have gone into that car . oh wait , i have had some of those dollars . that part of the world is where lot's of our oil comes from . must be nice .
Wow talk about craftsmanship! Some high quality work there for sure. Can't say i like all of the styling but wow...did that take some hours or what. Gaps looks good too...i was about to say its all show...but that V12 decal on the back makes me wonder. Brakes are still stock at the least.

i don't see stock brakes stopping a v12, but i will give credit where credit is due. A lot of time and effort was put into this car, and the end result was not bad at all, originality is there, ingenuity was there, and modifying it to resemble the 5th gen rear was a nice touch. All in all, i like most of the choices for the body work.

Without the gas tax, it would be much cheaper per gallon, but yes, it would still be ridiculously high. I definitely won't argue with the fact that we are getting ripped off, but some of it is our own country's fault.

That would be the best Photoshop job I have ever seen in my life. Its a real car, look at the lines between the bumpers and doors. Actually looks like it is based right off the stock body, just moded bumpers, gfx and quarter panels. Looks good, but not really my style.
At first, I thought that too, cause of the weird angles. But being into photography I realized that the photographer used a wide angle lense at a very short focal length. Puts curves into the straight lines.
Nice n' original. I'm impressed. Not a fan of the stickers, but overall it looks like alot of time and effort went into it.
I do like the C6 Z06'esque 1/4 panel scoops(probably non functional though), and I do like the subtle bulge in the rear 1/4s. All in a all an A for effort.
not exactly my taste but its different....the tail light area looks like the Camaro concept car a little. i think it looks like one of those DUB model cars.

I love to see someone went and did something exotic to one of these cars. I don't like the stickers either, but to each his own I guess. The interior does look like a teenager got a hold of it with a rattle can though. All in all, the exterior is truly unique.

Your sig might freak me out if I didn't know that you can't see what i have really, and that half the info is fake.

LOL, nah, none of it is fake, you're looking at what I have. Only the last 2 lines pertain to you, and I do not see that information. It's generated on the l33tsig server, from the header info reported by your browser. You can spoof the browser ID and load a proxy and you'll see what I mean.

I know, I'm an IT guy. I was loose with the half remark but not worried.
Hmmm... I really like it. Some parts of it are alittle out of place. But over all really cool. My problem with it lies in that windsheild banner... and the INTERIOR.
I REFUSE to believe that someone could do all that work to the outside, and then cobble together a crappy looking speaker set up and cheesy painted panels. Unless its still a work in progress... if it is, please catch pics of it when its doen and the interior matches the exterior in quality!
Otherwise its sweet. A nice LS7 swap, brake upgrade, and some interior work and Ide drool over it alittle!
In general I don’t know if I like it all that much, but then again I am not into Euro styling all that much.
The front view I don’t mind, sides are ok, but the back end makes me laugh.
Oh I give the person an A+ on originality and effort, but really the back end is just too fat for my taste.
I ponder if this person did the work themselves or if they had a shop do it.
I am guessing a shop.
So, I would definitely give an A+ on craftsmanship and originality but would give a C- as too how much I personally would want to have the end product.
Overall I will give it a B.
I have seen 3rd gens I like much better.
All that work, all that money and still have a drum rear brake?
I agree...too much show and not enough stop...still the effort is excellent...but I prefer the way GM designed our cars....
