that is awesome . What about a hood like the MCM or an air extractor style hood without the high rise part?

Well it's pretty close to the MCM and it will be vented to extract hot air.

As for the wing it will mount on a stock C5 bumper, as you can see that is an OEM bumper, but we molded the bottom part of the C6 onto it. I believe we are just going to use double sided tape. I know some people dont like that idea, but it works very well and no drilling involved.

Yeah I wont have finished pix until Juky when the parts come in.

No widebody at this time, we wanted these parts to be for everyone and not force you into buying wheels etc to accomodate.

nice work there! the C6 style doesn't really work for me but I must admit I like the ZR1 style fenders, they would look great on a C5! maybe better if you smoothed out the edges and made them more curvy, it would fit the C5's lines better. any plans to add a C6Z/ZR1 type scoop to a more stock looking C5 front flip or TS style? I think that would look nice. I like how it looks like you are incorporating my favorite feature of the C6's rear, the location of the reverse lights. if that's what I'm seeing in those pics though wouldn't the exhaust heat be a problem? nice work though!

Love the rear! Any chance that the diffuser will fit a stock C5 rear? I'm all for this once I see finished pics

Everything looks great. I can't wait to see everything painted and complete. I myself don't have the money for this but your prices are very reasonable.

No, as you can see from the middle down that is a C6 bumper. We even eliminated the "Corvette" between the taillights and its now where the C6's have it.

Again, thanks guy's. I cant wait to get this in as well and all painted up and installed.
