I don't think that is a photo shop job. It is a sad sad thing to see someone disscrase a Vette like that though. Is there nothing sacred any more?

it looks like that yellow text says "vietnamese on wheels" that has to be a photo shop job, besides look at the quality of the photo. its pretty blurry , probably to hide the editing.i really hope that no one would actually do that to a vette.

I think I have to agree with Novaguy and say thats not a photo shop job. That wing is hideous, all those beautiful curves and lines, then BAM that huge ugly wing. Its sad to see that done to such a car.

That POOR VETTE. I agree it looks REAL.

If it is photo shop someone did a good job look at the shadows. They show the wing tips.

If someone wasted there time in Photo Shop to do that they should be shot also.

i think they should put people through a screening process before they can buy a car like that, you know like when they adopt kids. Damn shame...

hahhaa...that looks funny as hell!

But in a strange way, maybe if the spoiler
was a bit smaller maybe it would look better.
I actually saw a Viper on the road today that had one of those huge adjustable rear wings.
The damn thing looked like it would take flight soon!

i has to be photoshop job. look how long the shadow behind the car is in the first pic, and then how short it is in the third pic. looks like they made it a point to put the tips of the spoiler in there. also, if you look closely, there is no shadow of the spoiler in the middle pic. i think it is a fake.

peace,

look at the front Banner. In one pic the bottom of it is curved, but in another, its straight. Looks like a photoshop to me. IF it is one, its a pretty damn good one

It only looks curved because of the way the window curves.
