No no... I get it. It's the natural life cycle of a car. But it's just odd to see everyone on the "make my C5 look different" bandwagon. I do remember seeing one C4 to C5 kit, but it was never popular. These C5/C6 hybrid parts seem to be garnering a good deal of attention on the forums.

We were just talking about that movie on my local car board that I frequent. I remember seeing it back when I was 5 or 6 and not into cars much at all. All I could remember was a black car powered by something purple and neon under the hood.

Lots of people don't like the lights and the front spoiler. Funny thing is, some of those same people think that airbrushing a fictitious winged reptile on your hood is the cat’s pajamas…

You would have loved the ZR-1 at Carlisle that had about 3 things randomly airbrushed on it and a 2' high spoiler off the rear end... The guy thought we were taking pictures because we liked it... yea... right

Brian, what's your take on the booty and the ZR-1 fenders?
I think if he had molded in the SW duck tail like I suggested that this butt would be one of the best selling rear bumpers on the market, especially with the CF rear diffuser... |

I think those fenders and butt are bad azz. A molded spoiler would have been great, but I guess they can use the Z06 or ZR1 spoilers, right?

Fenders look cheap and tacky... rear looks great. Why? Well because the rear doesn't have any sharp lines that don't translate to the C5 style. Does it utilize the OEM lower black part or did they just mold it all as one part? Please tell me its' the OEM lower facia w/ a new custom upper part.
I'll have to see one in person to see if it's as wavey and bulgey as the front bumper they made... if it's anything like the front then it's junk IMO. |

As for the pics in your original post, the reason that bumper looks so poorly installed in the OP is retarded and cheap, and decided to have the body shop paint it and he has been trying to install it for some time now. Just can't get it right! If I were that manufacturer, I would BEG the mods to remove his thread... Literally, Quik Z06 has said in like 5 posts that the OP is cheap and trying to do the bodywork himself :lol1: Don't get me wrong, I think the front looks like crap, but I'm waiting til he puts up pics tomorrow of the rear to see how well it fits after a professional does the job correctly! |

Sorry.... based on the fit/finish of that front piece even Chip Foose couldn't make it look right. Nothing fits as far as gaps, it's wavey, etc. etc. No abount of blocking will fix that.
