Minus the front splitter, I kind of like it.

I have seen worse in the Picture Battles on the Forum and the Canadian exchange rate is less than .01 cents per dollar. So that $22k would be $21969.20 US

USD ( U.S. dollar (noon) )
Date USD = U.S. dollar (noon) Exchange rate
2013-01-23 1.00 USD 1.0014 [0.9986]

I agree. Those BSM's are terrible.

Huh?? This is not the 80's. Hate to break it to you but the Canadian dollar is pretty well at par with the US currency and it has been for a while. Today it is trading at 0.9981 USD. Sooooooo............

The price isn't too bad though considering that Vettes are generally more expensive in Canada.

It's not my taste, but I don't see any rice - maybe one helping too many of mashed potatoes and gravy...

The interior and engine bay look decent and the flame paint job, while not to my taste, looks well done. The major flaw I see is the add on aero package stuff. And $22,900 for the car is a bit much.

I think most of the mods are tacky, but its the body kit that really does it in.

The sad part is that I don't even know if the car is lowered. Based on the wheel gap in the fenders it might be lowered 1/2" or 1", but definitely not more than that.

Why people would rather add ugly (and non-functional) body kits which decrease their ground clearance, rather than just lowering the car, I will never understand.

Looks like someone spent a lot of cash on this car. But lo-res pics on the internet can hide many, many sins.

That's mild compared to some I've seen. Not my taste but I wouldn't call it riced up either.

I have not checked the exchange rate in a long time! Did not realize it was that close, but cars still in general run more in Canada!

Hard to make a yellow car look even worse and he did.

Oh come ooonn, Not rice? There are lots of vettes with really nice body kits and upgrades, but how does this not qualify as terrible? Don't know about the U.S, but the Fast and Furious days are LONG over. Cars with tacky paint jobs, wings and irrelevant upgrades have been no more for years. Seeing this on the road will get bigger laughs than a dude driving an Iroc with a mullet listening to def leopard.

Not to my taste, but search the net there are some "winners" out there.
