Body Kit Recommendations
I like the older Greenwood body kits but am not really familiar with any other kits out there.
Anyone have pics of a body kit they like that could give me a more informed decision should I decide to put a kit on my '96?
Thanks.

how about none?
The problem I have with body kits on C4s is that they just clutter up the stock lines... and by the time you pay for the kit, mess with the installation and paint it, you will have about $5k in it...

...sometimes a nice paint job works better 
However, if you are still set on a body, Callaway Cars, possibly LPE and Shinoda all might work as alternates - ALso try ACI Fiberglass for some ideas - I hope this helps

Personally, my gripe with pretty much *all* the body kits i've seen for c4's is that they don't blend well with the existing body, and just look tacked-on at best. For such a smooth-shapped car it amazes me that there aren't any kits (that I've seen) that take advantage of the c4 vette's curves.
(granted the 'wide body' kit on that page does do a pretty good job of it)

I dont know what body kit is this one, one of my nieghbor has it, he himself dont know or may be dont wanna tell me. But this kit is absolutely gorgeaous atleast to me pics dont do any justice to this beast, this is a 89 vette stroked to 427 damn this sound and drive mean. One more thing about hood is lot lighter than original, infact u can lift it with just two fingers or may be one.
