What DIY Body kits are out there for the C5? I know of the C2 bodies,but those are are not DIY. Are there any out there?

not really sure what you mean DIY? are you meaning buying a body part from a vendor, and then doing all the work your self? or are you meaning get some foam and molding your own fenders and what not and DIY that way?

I mean like buying prefab kits. I know about the gtm,was wondering if there were others

gtm is not a body kit it is a kit car

yeah there are DIY body kits for the C5. They normally require a few rolls of double sided tape and come out looking like this:

Ok, I screwed up, I meant a kit car that I could use a complete C5 Rolling frame. I got a Rolling frame with only 41k on the clock and wanted to do something with it,but not as expensive as the gtm kit. Plus while the gtm looks awsome, they are a bear to drive,are very hot and not very practical. I have a friend that built one and cost him over 70k by the time he was done. I've driven it and it lighting fast,but a littles to much.

Nothin else out there like the GTM, in terms of using C5 parts. I've got tons of track time and build time in GTM's....they can be made to work and you can definitely build them cheap as hell. Most guys spend 70k because they want a new car versus what Dave Smith/Jim intended, which was track **** that was decent looking. We built one for 28k but that was obtaining a kit from a guy for 5k, and some real scavenging on parts. GTM roof height is just too impractical though, the doors are garbage, the frames are longer on one side vs the other, can't get enough caster in them, etc. I was just at the stage of doing a rebody and cutting the chassis to raise the roof line slightly when the IRS came in and threw my boy in the big house...it was party over then...lol.

We built one of the most recognizable GTM's out there...mostly because we got it on Speed Channel







My old Arctic white C4 with the GTM. I'd get out of that GTM, relieved to drive my C4 from the shop back home...lol.

If you are a fan of corvette you'll enjoy this car for sure) I had 3 corvettes and this is a really very good car. I know you are thinking that this is already an old car but remember that these cars ''don't have the year of issue, they have the condition". Before buying a Corvette I'm looking through many websites like jdmbuysell.com and visiting a lot of sellers. It is very important to find a good one in a good condition because otherwise, you'll have to invest a lot of money for the restoration and you won't enjoy it at all. You'd better invest this money for some tuning))

I like it.
It’s different and there is nothing bad about it, exhaust must be changed though.

most of who complain, do you have 6 pack muscle? Most probably you are 80 lb overweight, you think you are perfect?

Bumps a really old thread to say he likes a Corvette not even pictured, then asks about men's abdominal muscles.
