I like it !! Not crazy about the grill or exactly my cup of tea..... but hey it's 2013 why not !! They've been doing stuff like that from the beginning. Lots of crazy & innovative corvette designs other then stock.
I'm waiting to see if GM comes out with a C7 WB???

I saw it a SEMA yesterday. I thought it looked good, I don't like the wheels but the carbon fiber is nice! It is a wild custom, not everyone likes those.
Plenty of cars there I thought were ruined, I don't think this is one of them.
It didn't win any awards either BTW

Looks like a marketing ploy to me, It was still there the last day of the show with For sale on it.....

The Forgiato Vette did win a award I will post a pic later, I talked to Topo on Thursday and he said a few of the Chevy executives came and took a look at it.

It's for Sema so most of the cars are over the top and someone called it. Someone from overseas will buy it...

Except for the grille and the need for more tire, I would drive it until my butt was numb!
