The proportions seem a little odd but it is an interesting idea.

Thats what I was thinking. The arches are to high along with the angled down rear deack give it strange look.

Aside from that it looks good...

chop?

Is that a reflection or some sort of graphic on the left rear bumper? I think if he wanted a C6 he could have gotten a better looking one at the Chevy dealer. Now, if that sucker had a painting of a naked girl or Elvis on the hood, maybe, but as it stands, uh uh.

As far as custom C3's go . I would work on the wheel gaps though, but in all not a bad looking ride.
