I just worked on one of these a couple of weeks ago. It's in Killeen and it took me a minute to sink in. I like the rear but, not sure of the front. I also like the corvette style scallops. It's different and that's what car crafting is all about. You can't please everyone.......my 0.02.....

Callaway added some new pics to their online store. I REALLY don't like the Ultra Z hood on the red one, but the rest is cool. I like the 1st generation of Callaway C8 better though, the headlight buckets on the LS1 C8 look a little funny, though not bad.

The Ultra Z hood on the other hand... looks bad with the body kit.

Slap a CME on it and see how it looks. It does not look good with the ultra z hood. I wonder how it would look with the SS hood and some better wheels.

This one has an SS hood and looks pretty nice. I really think the 1st gen LT1 C8s look better though. I actually like them a lot.
