Wow - with something this extreme, you're sure going to get the extreme spectrum of opinions. For me, absolutely LOVE the color and LOVE the wheels. Don't like the grill, and really don't like the rear width.

But - this is one of those things, if someone is going to do it, they're going to do it as an extension of them, and what they think in the end is the ONLY thing that matters (unless looking for resale, then this is probably way too "out there").

I think this is an absolutely wicked looking car. Second best C7 out there... behind the Stingray concept Chevy should have built. I like the way the grill has some attention given to it instead of looking like a gaping teenager clenching their retainer. The massive fenders look cool; ignore the haters who say they look rediculous from the back. It's a street interpretation of what the C7R will probably be. No one complains about the huge fenders on the C6R.

I think the color of the wheel lips and the rear is a bit too wide; otherwise, it looks really nice!
BTW, the front grill is a bit busy as well :-)

Why are people acting like this color is so radical? It looks just like Grabber Blue from the Mustangs. Or is that the problem?

Wheels should have been all Black.

That front grill is just...no - Shoulda left that alone.

Should went wide all 4 corners.

Should have made the rear lower vents wider in the back.

Diffuser fins are way too damned wide.

Rims themselves don't look that wide, How wide are they? - Something like this better have some 365/20/20 love out back.

It looks like a true Supercar. A little too extreme for a DD but overall, amazing to look at. I'd love to rock it out.

If you are going to look like that, you better have more than 400 rwhp!

As long as the rear tire width matches the aggressiveness of the wide body (thinking 335s or +) ...I really like it!

I agree-the hood looks misaligned-big gaps. Rear flares are way out of proportion to the rest of the car.

Very nice! Just the proportions seem off a bit. Maybe a vent in front of the rear wheels would help break it up a bit bit it appears a little too stretched out. However, fantastic job!

I really like the rear end, the front grill is ugly but other than that looks pretty good. Color is not my favorite but the actually wide body parts look badass.
