an entire rear off a corvette? I saw somebody creating a custom tail panel with vette lights but not an entire rear off a vette.

I'll give major props for taking the initiative to create something new and unique for a Camaro. Saw it in person. Differnt, but not for me - but that can be said about every mod we do.

That Corvette tail panel looks WAY better in person as I found out for myself at the Super Chevy show.
Mad props for the unique look... I believe something like 25+ hours went into making that.

I think it's awesome that he took the time to do it but I don't like it quite as much, due to the fact that I don't think it flows as well with the car's lines. To each his own. There are a ton on this board that love the look.

Definitely a unique piece that probably took quite some effort to fabricate.

I agree, I don't know if it is something that I would do on my car, but I love it for the fact that it is fresh and innovative. Not only that, but I can really respect the amount of sweat and tears that go into a project like that.
