im not sure who this guy is but he did a excellent job with this car. the vette tail lights look "stock" instead of looking like they are "snap on"

hmm... kinda bland... too much red. Don't much care for the wheels either... Can't help but think the stock taillights would look better and would break up the monotony of the paint... Clean car at least, but I'd have liked to have seen it before the owner started changing things.

Now that is an aftermarket Notchback that I would acually buy! Now I just need to find out who the heck makes is. It might be Motion Glass in NY.

Looks nice, I kind of like the Corvette taillight pannel and the wheels too. I think the notchback makes it look very sleak.

I say he gets an A+ on the park job too... notice how he leaves as much space as possible between him and the next car.

I didn't even notice that! I do the same exact thing! Most of the time though, I will park way out,that way(most of the time)no one will park any where around me. Sometimes even though I park way out,I have had people park beside me oh well,can't win them all

Usually a car with that much crap doesn't appeal to me, but I actually like that one. I think part of it is because the vette lights weren't half-assed like every single other install I've seen. That one was done right and it shows NO signs of the old tail light shape around the sides.

that is pretty trick.....wouldn't do any good with the iroc spoiler like i have tho.... it wraps right around the taillight area.

that car is pretty nicely done.....i would have done a few things different, but it's pretty sweet....wonder if it has the ***** to back up the look?

Nothing wrong with a little red paint Those tail lights are too bad of a idea. I sure wouldn’t of dreamed it up though. Wonder how my car would look like with those Vette lights?

I guess I'm the only one that thinks the Vette taillights look cheap . They just don't appeal to me. I also don't like the notchback, or the color unless thats just the lighting. The hood, I like. Not too big, not too small. And the rims aren't bad either.

Thats what im talkin about! Its obviously not GTAutos, and its not a GTA factory one either. It MIGHT be the Motion Glass Co. Notchback...

I figured out where he got those vents. Those are Trans am vents that are on the fenders. I had that idea for my buddies Iroc. I'm getting that same hood for my firebird hehe. :lala: But that color is just nasty, it looks like the cars mad of plastic. lol

That is a really nice "Corvette". Apparently the owner does not like much about the appearance of a thirdgen Camaro. I am all for custom cars but not mimicry of another model. I'm glad he/she didn't copy a mustang. It is probably an LT1 or LS1 and six speed as well. Sorry, I'm grouchy this morning.

what the f***?! everytime someone does something different, PEOPLE B1TCH!!! It doesnt matter what it is. look, is it your car? NO! accept it, you cant control what other people do to their cars. I think it looks great, also think its a little too much red. If he wanted a vette, dont you think he woulda bought one?! All he did was excentuate the camaro lines with something different. If you dont like it, shutup.

TexasLT1, Suppose you could get a couple more chapters in your signature?


The vette taillights look cheesy... There was a crossfire injected Z28 in the local u pull it yard about 5 years ago that had vette lights. Some people I knew liked them others didn't... Personally I prefer the stock grid taillights over the alternatives. Either way the Firebirds have always had nicer taillights than the Camaro's.

ok, sorry about that guys, that was just a really bad day. what I meant to get across is that...well, Im not real sure what I was trying to say. I like the car and all, I just didnt like it being called a corvette. anyway...

but Drew, I could probably add a few more chapters if you like
actually, I didnt realize how long it was till just the other day and I havent had time to go in a shorten it.


any better?

No problem, it happens

As for Firebird taillights being nicer than Camaros, I have to agree for the most part. I like the later third gen bird lights (don't know what years were which) and I like the IROC style Camaro ones, but the older Camaro ones are too ugly. I still like them better then fake 'Vette tails on a Camaro.

Think it's 'cause the paint's so dull. If it was a deeper red or black, it would look much better. I give it an 8.

That light setup would look 5 times better if he grafted in a Corvette license plate bezel in with it. You know the C4 bezel that has the reverse lights on either side of it.
