Default C4 Bodykit

Is there any good looking C4 bodykits out there? I looked and looked and all I found was 80s looking bodykits that are pretty bad looking to say the least.

Seeing as its a 80's designed car the body kits would follow suit. The Callaway AeroBody is nice but with out what came under the clam shell to complete the package I would not put one a C4

Body kits make C4s look awful.

I think the Callaway Aerobody and the Shinoda/Mears body kits are the only ones that look better than what came on it stock.

It's not that I dislike body kits ... I simply have yet to see a body modification that looks better than the original. I dare say GM got it right the first time around...

There are a few body mods that look good. Callaway is the best looking C4 ever IMO. I plan on one for my car. I have been thinking of modding my hood like the Sledgehammer.

What year vette? These older C4's like mine (89) is probably worth less than the cost of the kit, and the labor to have the parts installed and painted.

I think the late C3's make better cars to put body kits on. Like say 74 to 82 models.

Good Luck

Body mods can be done tastefull. Not really a body kit...but is different from all the rest.
