Default Mako Shark bodykits?

I was wondering about getting a C3 this summer. I have always admired
the Mako Shark II & Manta Ray concept cars and was thinking about
modifying my C3 to a Mako Shark "look-alike". I once saw a modified
C3 like this and it was extremely beautiful....

Do you know of any companies that sell the body parts that you would
need for this or would it have to be special made? :steering:

Just so you know what I am talking about:

I like the front but not a big fan of the "boat tail" rear. :thumbs:

Great looking cars, Bill Mitchel was ahead of his time. Shame we don't have designers like Bill, Shinoda, and Dontov today within Corvette with thier vision. Nowadays it's all about $$$ instead of being the best sports car built in America. G.M. is content with being in second place behind the Viper. :rolleyes:
