Thumbs down Why ruin a beautiful new car??

On the way to pick-up some food last night, in the parking lot saw a nice 2011 Camaro, red, black top and interior, blacked out windows, with 28" wheels and tires!! Matching red brake shields!
Wonder if they call that the "Ghetto Handling Package!"

Although I picked up the food, I couldn't eat for 1/2 hr.!

Let's be sure to leave them all as guesses in your minds; no answers or thinking out loud please.

At least it was a new car and not an Olds or any other classic.

And did it have a " 28" " sticker on the back? I have seen that around here - they have to advertise how big they are. Kinda like the " 22" " sticker on the front of my lawn mower...

It is a retro Camaro, no harm done.

Not my style, for sure. Then again, much of the stuff we did to 60's cars in the 70's would be frowned on today. Hacked a few dashboards to make stereos fit in my youth. Might make an all-original 2011 camaro pretty special 20-30 years from now, just like an unmolested classic today.

Yeah - it had "28" decals on both sides, and the rear so his friends wouldn't have to guess!

The worst sticker of that sort I've seen are the "ridin' on Kobe Bryants" stickers.

I bet this red dust shields were hiding stock brakes.

I'm amazed they could fit 28" rims under there. I drove a new SS the other day, I thought it rode on the rough side with 20's, can't imagine how rocky it was with those on there.
