Looks interesting. if my car was wrecked in the back I would consider buying one. Then my car would look different and special. But then everyone would know my car was wrecked. Never mind, I wouldn't replace the oem part.

Thanks guys! I'll be honest, I didn't think there would be enough interest for this to get it done. I'm going to get some numbers done on this and see what we can do.

With improved fitment I would DEFINITELY be interested too. I also am in the same boat with the ACI spoiler and this would be nicer to have with it molded in AND a larger duck bill.

exactly the ACI spoiler follows the lines of the car best but still has that tacked on look this would solve all of that. Plus my bumper got dinged up in an accident so I will wait for this

That rear bumper does look great. If you can get it to where the fit is OEM and all the lights/license plate items just bolt on, I might be interested.

+1 to this, also, painted to OE match options would be good...

I've kind of been on the lookout for the SW's one for a long time but if this was available I would have to consider one. Depends on fitment of course. Love the look.

Default Comparisons

So just to compare looks, in order of appearance, Xtreme rear, SW rear, and Tiger Shark rear. Again, if the fit and finish on the Xtreme can be assured as first rate, I would be in.

I am also looking to do exhaust tips with the rear bumper as four 4inch round.belled tips a la the C7 look. if I can't get someone to mod my Ti tips to replicate the C7 look and spacing will probably go to the NXT Step exhaust and mod those tips. The Corsa Tiger Shark tips come close but I think they are 3.5 inch tips.

Think Pete is disappointed in the amount of business they got on their diffuser project this might be asking too much. Lets start with a stock fitting bumper for now please. Anyone could always add on the diffuser later.

Not a mod guy to my C5 body but the wing looks great. It certainly looks like it was production. Count me in as long as the fit is perfect. Make sure when you get ready to sell that the Forum is given the first notice.

Yes, if they fit very well, and you use your new supplier, and not E. D.
