The exterior would look better if the paint would look either all purple, or all blue..

the color changing effect seems a little weird between purple and blue like that..

It is a chameleon paint job, it changes different colors from different angles or how the sun hits it and such.

No everyone on here who is a member of LS1tech has their IPs set on ls1.com to go straight back to ls1tech. I find it pretty funny. That would be the problem here I do believe.

That car is almost to the point of overkill. Ditch the ground effects and that goofy rear wing and it might look like something decent.

Looks can be subjective, but this car looks amazing in person. It is definitely unique.
