Domestic Rice at my friends tire shop. The hood says 427 on it in chrome and yes it was shut, that is the fitment. The wheels were sadly fitted but they were Foose wheels though. The funny part? The owner is a man that works as a delivery driver for Krispy Creme. They must pay better than I thought.

The front bumper looked like it was only mounted at about two points, the rest flopped freely. The camber on the back tires was pretty bad, although it doesn't really show in the photo.

I see those vettes, and after I get over the urge to puke, I just keep having scenes from mad max play through my head...

And I think the lettering is even more slanted then the Mustang.

Please don't quote the entire thing, jeeze.

Not sure, but I don't think I've seen anything worse than those corvettes. And the dumbfounding thing is, there's multiples! It's like they took industrial paint and threw it on the car. Corvettes no less! Not some crummy sedan. I'd rather have it with no paint at all and rusted to hell than look like that. That's atrocious in ever sense of the word.

Those Corvette's may have been painted in latex so they can just peel it off. I can't understand a mind that would do that permanently.

Since Corvettes are ghey, maybe they tried to toughen' them up a bit! I hate Corvettes and their snobby old-*** owners.

At first glance, I thought it was paper mache.

Latex sounds better.

Heh, it almost looks like a colored truck bed-liner paint. I can't believe there's more than one!

It was a play on words, as though you were going to his house to dump paint on his car.
