Default C5 "Shark" kit, lol

I came across an ad for a "Shark Kit" for a C5, which "seamlessly blends the allure of the classics with the updated technology of the C5"

I dont see anything on this car making it look like a shark?!



Allure from what classic?

Makes it look more like a Camaro than a C3.

I agree the C5 needs a face lift and a fanny lift but this one is not great. The rear has potential but the front is a bagger.

Can I say that?

Destined to be a classic...just like all those Greenwood Corvette Wagon conversions. People really took a shine to those, eh? Is George Barris designing cars again?

C5s need something, but this thing isn't it.

The back-end looks much better than the original IMO, but I see nothing classical about it.
