Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C7 Forum - View Single Post - Trying to make a hammer from a screwdriver

I've been looking at some other car forums (passenger car forums), and some people have spent probably $10k on body kits to turn their 4 door, 4 cylinder front wheel drive passenger cars into "what looks like a sports car".

I really get the sense that they're fundamentally unhappy with the car, and really wanted something else. Why else would you spend almost half of the MSRP of the car radically altering its appearance? You don't see anyone taking a Corvette and trying to make it look like an H2 do you?

I am not advocating a stock appearance. But there comes to a point in the transformation of a car's appearance when it's absolutely clear that the owner really wanted a different car to begin with.

What do you guys think?
