Vettebuyer, Yes...the car was done in photoshop so we could see the difference in color and combinations. So the pipe is turned in that picture.

Old stock suspension ... yea, hide it. But when you have invested in a new Street Shop Inc. C4 suspension setup under your C3 restomod, you want it to show from the rear view of the car.

With the shields put on that way it makes it easier when sitting in the car to look down and see what car you are driving.

BTW. Side Pipes rock

Mad....That's an interesting idea something I have not considered. I like the black and chrome combo. I'll have to PS the black pipes and see how it looks. I did fix the pipes for Vettebuyer though thank you for pointing that out...I missed it.

All you need now is to put them on a Stingray and you will be all set.

(sorry, couldn't help it...)

1) sidepipes are mandatory on C3's.

2) My opinion is the only one here that matters, as I am far cooler than the rest of you old geezers....

In white, WITH THOSE RIMS, the pipes look terrible. Buy some different, older looking rims, run a slightly bigger tire and it will look awesome.

I have spoken. Make it so.

(just had major shoulder surgery...the pain meds are making me goofy)
