This is an excellent example of a performance-inspired custom Corvette. It doesn't suffer from the typical stick-on chrome junk that several other Corvette owners seem to find appealing. Kudos to you Mr. Wheeler!

This is what makes the difference. Awesome ride!

IMO, it is still quite a bit too over the top for my tastes. It's a wonderful car that I would love to own, but for me, carbon fiber is just the new chrome unless we are talking about lightweight body panels.

Great stance, awesome color....a little overkill on the Carbon Fiber.....

Other than that, outstanding!

I agree. Damn nice car, just needs to lose at least the fake CF.

Gorgeous car. Everything ties together perfectly. I've never seen a splitter like that on a 'Vette.

I guess I'll be the first to say that I like the intake. I'm debating doing that to my FAST.

That is a great looking car - extremely clean. Personally, I've never been a fan of red interior, and I like the carbon fiber pieces even less, but that is just a difference in taste. It is all done really well/clean. Externally and under the hood, I absolutely love the car. Good article.

Those wheels are bad ass.

I will be purchasing some black wheels with the JSB stripe for my daily.
This week im putting limo tint on it.

I can only hope my car is as nice as that someday, and has as much carbon fiber!

I love the rims, the red stripe really sets it off. Beautiful car, although I am not a huge fan of the seats.

i feel ya. save the carbon fiber trim pieces for the cars actually made out of carbon fiber.

awesome car nonetheless

Not a big fan of the rivets and spoiler, but it flows well and looks amazing overall!

Very well done car. Still a little up in the air on some of the CF, but to each his own.

Which shutter speed etc. did you use to get that cover picture "in motion" but with the wheels turned?

That is what is called a "rig shot". It involves an attached camera mount to the car, and then you photoshop the mount out of the photo.

Here ya go: http://www.automotiverigs.com

As for timing, we typically use 2-5 seconds, depending on light. The car is actually not driving, it is being hand-pushed from behind. Cool effect, eh?

That's pretty sweet, one of the cooler pictures I've seen. Excellent work!

There's two types. Suction cup/magnetic mounted and bolt-on.

The suction cup and magnetic rigs normally consist of two or three industrial suction cups or magnets that can be mounted anywhere on the vehicle.

The bolt-on types can be attached under the car with an attachment to subframe connectors or something of the like.
