Look at the hatch lines and how a T/A's hatch opens. There are no lines so its a chop or the glass it perm shut cuz it wouldnt clear the wing if just the glass opened

check out how the taillights on the drivers side look compared to the passenger side. Ovals and circles. Really good photochop though.

the rightmost light is also choped intoo. you can also see a prety good color difference on the vette rear. there is also alot more mixilation on the vette portion, indicationg a quality difference between the two images used.

all in all i would say it is an "ok photoshop" not a "good photoshop". but thats just my 2 cents.

looks like a chick with a big butt. anyway I think the vette bumper is too wide. you would need to narrow it and as stated shorten it as well

I've got the measurments off a C5 about 67" W 26"H and mine measure about 61"W and 25" H All I have to do now is get a hold of a C5 bumper for "CHEAP"
I figure. . . if i cut around the third brake light opening leaving a border. Cut the bumper in half at its middle then section it and bond it back together. once it is back in one peice cut out holes and re mount the third brake. The amount that has to be sectioned looks like about the amount it would take to get rid of the reverse lights which is fine because using the euro style C5 lights the reverse lights are in the tail lights.
