If you are doing a "one off" rod that would be part of the slick package, but might be a bit tacky by itself.

But then it's your Vette, so go for it if you like the idea.

"one off"? im sorry im a bit confused my this expression
i dont see whats ricey about it. old school hot rodders do this all the time. i know a 96 vett isnt old school but it will be eventually. i think if you did it right it would look really slick especially if like mentioned was doen with others things as well to be like more of a show car. anyone have pics?

lots of hatin goin on, but i think its interesting. it wouldnt really fit on a car that is otherwise stock, but it could be a nice complement if you had a few other aftermarket looks, like a hood with airscoops.
i dont like ground effects kits and big wings, but i dont think that means you cant customize a C4 a little bit. Ive seen some spoilers that seemed very tasteful and nice looking.

"One-off" is a term (usually) used to describe a unique, total vehicle conversion. The "Last C4" with white A-molds and GS hashmarks could *almost* be considered a factory 1-off model, although it wouldn't be hard to duplicate. A factory Ferrari Testarossa Convertible would be an excellent example of a "one off" - it was made, but never commercially available.

Hope that helps...

Post a side view pic of your ride or one similar and the photochoppers will gladly oblige. This would be an easy chop.

Here, I chopped mine and two other things, see if you can pick out how "RICE" it is.

I love the look but probably will never have time or the ***** to do it. Yea, the shaved handles and markers give the car a real smooth look, nothing like rice if you ask me. And don't ricers add junk to their cars not take things off?

BTW, carefully use your clone brush and take out the side mirror also for a really bitchin' look.

Well; I don`t know about the 20"s, & the lights, but I don`t think the rest looks too bad.

Ummm, doesn't the C6 pretty much not have door handles?? I mean they are small to say the least. I like the look. Very smooth. Very slick. I say go for it!
