What was this guy thinking? Slap a Corvette rear on his pickup. Add spoilers. The truck is parked in a handicap parking space. His handicap must be his inability to differentiate cool from crap.

Why go with one useless, drag inducing, fuel wasting spoiler when you can have three?

Being a truck guy, I find that more offensive to the S-10.:p

At least he kept it all Chevy.

They may add extra drag but, each one of those spoilers is worth 55 HP. :D

Re: Corvette owners of America, FIGHT BACK!

That thing has to be photoshopped, look how far out the gray "what ever it is" obscures the rear wheel, it would have to be protruding at least a foot from that angle

wow I"ve never seen a corvetamino
The s-10 does look photo shopped but if real I'm sure the owner thinks it's a Chick Magnet.

Dunno, looks pretty real to me. If you were going to the trouble to photo shop something like that, why use such a crappy vette rear end?

It looks like it's just slipped over the rear of the truck and not actually attached.

Re: Corvette owners of America, FIGHT BACK!

YES!! Now THAT is cool. :)

JB and I both want one:) I wonder if that is a "one off" or is someone building these. TOO COOL.

I just knew the S-10 pic was from the "south":D
Oh yes, the back crap is attached, with 400lbs. of bondo. Too bad the owner is not in the pic.:D

Re: Corvette owners of America, FIGHT BACK!

Now, if he were to have done that right, it might look pretty sweet. That is, better blending and less (even better - none at all) spoilers.

I went to school with a guy that drove an s-10 blazer. He took and shaved/smoothed the tailgate, added a rolled rear bumper (flush mount), blended that into the tailgate, and installed recessed mount Corvette tail lights. He then took and shaved the factory tail lights off. That looked pretty decent. Not a hack chop job like in that picture.

Now - the Vette with pickup bed: I have mixed feelings on that one for sure. It looks like a good fab job, but the overall look of the vehicle is a bit too "unique" for my tastes. It takes guts to cut into a Corvette like that. Kudos to that guy (or gal, for all we know) for that.
