I showed my wife the pictures and commented on how over the top his modifications were and she reminded me how I like to decorate our Christmas tree.

You really have to appreciate the amount of effort that went into that car. For as ugly as it is, it appears to be very well done...

And then there's always "some people have more money than brains" mentality. Talk about being upside down?

Money doesn't necessarily equate to having taste.

I agree. I don't like the mods done to it, but a lot of time and effort went into the project. I think the color rocks.

I don't even think that "Lambo" style doors look that good on Lamborghini's. Not to mention the added hatchback on the vette. Just frustrating to see this!

The rear hatch may have been well executed but the design doesn't work . Not crazy about Lambo doors on a C-3 either. Topping it of with that wing only make it worse. The wheels and the color are the only things on the car that I like.

I don't care for it, but they did a nice job of building what they wanted. I don't get the front end being so high. (Like that is the most odd thing about the car)

Hey, to each his own. He likes what it is. I don't know why you guys always have to rip the cars up that aren't stock looking.
