i can respect the artistic work put in, but it's way overdone. less is more.

That hurt my eyes.

I'm with Sunset'01Z... less is more in my book. I prefer spending money making cars faster, handle better, or brake quicker. I never understood people who spend a lot of time, money and energy putting do-dads and gee-gaws and kitschy/garish things on their cars. But hey, to each his own and if everybody thought like me then I'd have a lot more competition on the track and out on the street. I will do some appearance mods but they are conservative and understated for the most part, and I spend a fraction of the time, effort and money that I spend making my cars perform better.

Overdone a little much, and the taillight covers don't help the look. Not really THAT bad though, just some stuff is overdone on it.

*shrugs* doesn't look that bad

I think the engine covers look great. Lose the neons, lose the chrome tacky stuff on the lights, ditch the stuff painted on the interior panels and it would be a nice car. Not my taste but nice.

Pretty tacky looking. The paintwork talent is excellent, but that doesn't mean it looks good on a Corvette. Save that stuff for chopper bikes, not Corvettes. Real flames are real old, someone stick a fork in that fad.

Call me crazy but I don't think that's ALL that bad... I mean there are some points, yes, that are hideous. But it's not nearly as bad as some others i've seen.

BTW, the paint is actually pretty impressive to me...
