Default Behold the hugger C8
This belongs to a guy in my club over here in Europe. He finally got it back after months of waiting and tons of money spent! What do you all think?

Looks like it could be a Callaway C8 conversion. Saw one 2 years ago at the Ontario Camaro Club show. Interesting to say the least. Some aspects are appealling and others need to be left on the cutting room floor. Only thing that can be said is....if the owner likes it, enjoy it for as long as you own it. Not my cup of tea.

That's why I said hugger C8. It's the Calloway kit, and it looks far better in person- I can assure you!

It does look far better in person those pics thoug aren't bad at all. I've never like them personally until I saw his in person. It's a nicely built kit but too much for my blood. The nose is still not my thing but it's not bad. I wish someone could make the rear bumper seperate though because that is flat out beautiful.

Yes, I just wanted to be sure everyone saw it before they asked again.

I hadn't even thought about that! That is so true!
