Ah, well, to me the Callaway aerobody only goes with the full Callaway treatment. So it's not something I'd do to my car with a modded LT1. The Shinoda kit would be a great way to finish off a modded LT1/LT4 car.

I just cringe when I see a C4 Greenwood kit, and the C5 body kits make no sense to me.

If I hit the lottery, or if I had to have an extensive body repair I'd go with it on my car, repainted Torch Red. To me no other body kit looks right on the C4. I especially like the tail treatment, no wing!

No, I just underlined the title. I don't believe Corvette Enthusiast posts the full articles online.

I don't think the kit works with the C4. Look at the lines of the add on parts, they are very rounded and then attempt to blend into the sharp edges of the C4.

Those rounded lines in styling work much better on the C5. Even then, not sure I'd care much for it.

In the sea of post of thumbs up, I give it thumbs down.

I keep falling in love with the GS one week, ZR-1 the next, any LT4 the next. Then I see a 383 tricked out, chromed to the max 90 6-speed for sale at a decent price and go ga-ga for that. I'm beyond redemption.
I have told too many people about buying a GS so I will stick with that decision. It never hurts to look though does it?
Bizzaro happening today. My credit card company sent me a letter upping my max so that I could actually go buy one with plastic and with what I have saved. It is a Credit Union Visa with relatively low interest (9 3/4%). I could just go buy one right now and pay the card off when my inheritance kicks in.
What does Dave Ramsey say though? "When you play with snakes (Visa/Mastercard/Amex/Discover) you are gonna get bitten!"
Think I will just wait at least to see what is available at the Carlisle Grand Sport reunion.
Besides, if I didn't buy a GS then Elaine would come over and flatten all my tires!

That is one kit that looks awesome, except the back! How much do they cost? It really makes the front even longer!!

Have any of you guys installed one of these kits or a similar kit? I'm in the process of doing my '85 and have a few paint / assembly questions.

Thanks in advance.

I, for one, love the look of this kit. I have looked around, It seems to be long out of production. Are they still available? Linky? Don;t know if I would do it on my 11000 mile CE, but dang it looks good.
