The only thing i think looks decent is the hood style(not its color), anyone want to comment? Just want to know what y'all think.

The engine looks alright i guess too lol.

Well its ugly as far as the paint scheme, but it also looks good as far as they did a really awesome job with paint and body work, its not a 5 dollar hack job with spray paint.

Wouldn't be too bad if it weren't for that giant wing. That just kills it.

not the vette bumper?
whomever did it does have some skills though. not a good eye for design but it may be exactly what the customer wanted...never know.

Take some of the colors (purple and blue) that are on the front bottom on the ground effects and use just that for the car.. it would look pretty nice..

Not this car again LOL! I would not drive it, own it, or let in be parked in my driveway and I love 3rd gens. There is a ton of work and money in it, but this car is a good example of just because you can does not mean your should.

That car would look pretty cool with a solid body color, no wing, and a decent exhaust setup.

I like the Corvette rear.

Now that's an '80s paintjob! I think that whomever bought it for $2970 got a good deal. Solid color repaint would be a good idea. Not sure I like the 'vette tail, though. Or the spoiler. Same goes for the tailpipes. lol.

That corvette back end is actually a piece made specifically for our cars, I've posted the link to it a few years ago but I've never seen it installed, now that I have........I know I never want one

The only thing good about that car is it has a gas tank to deposit a match into!

Looks to be an 87 iroc with a 91/92 front gfx which doesnt look right for some reason. Not digging the rear so much. Agreed that the painter knew what he was doing. I guess the only good thing is that they didnt carry over the paint scheme into the interior. Looks fairly stock. To each his own I guess.

I was thinking the same thing, the front spoiler on the bodykit looks kinda cool with those colors
