Pretty hip for its day that was the thing back then. Bold garish over the top..Look at the Countach.
As far as body kits go that looks way better imo than some of them out there. A non car guy would probably never know. Relics of the 80s..

That's my dark purple metallic '95 actually. Never had it in Chicago but the wing was on it when I bought it in late '07. It's a Wings West wing, nothing at all to do with any other kit...

I can appreciate the workmanship that went into that. It might not be to your taste but you can hardly call it crap work.
Especially since it dropped the cheapo chevy interior in a dumpster somewhere along the way (the true Rossavettes.)
I like it, but if I had a choice between owning a C4, and a 512 TR or the RossaVette. I'd say gimme the C4 and TR.
Also the 512 TR is my favorite ferrari. Period. Though the F50, and 458 are right on it's heels.

Before this bitchy year-old thread get's lock, I'll add that Vanacor's fiberglass (Corvette specialty) made/carried the vettarosa kit for years. They probably made them for ZMC...though it's possible they bought the molds.
Vanacor's went out of business shortly after Katrina. (They were in New Orleans.
Another bit of unfortunate trivia...The original owner of Vanacor's was shot by his own son (a few years before the company's demise). His wife tried to keep the company going afterwards. Never did as well...but the aging C4 models probably didn't help.
Given the choice between their quality (at least what I saw), there are better aftermarket fiberglass companies. ToledoPro comes to mind -- since some many have raved about the quality of their hoods. (including me).
