I have some photos of it, they're up in the attic somewhere with my Halloween decorations. I use them to frighten children.

See if you can locate a Shinoda rear bumper. It'll cost more, but damn they are purdy. With the C5 kit of course you'll have to do the whole car to make it match up consistently (and look entirely like shid.)

If you want a C5 buy one. Save the 3K you have and sell your car for
as much as you can get. A 2000 C5 coupe can be had for $13K
Considering the cost of the kit plus paint and bodywork it just doesn't make alot of sense.

There was a 98 C5 coupe, black on black, 85 k mies and this sucker was CLEAN!!! 13.5k obo on Craigslist. THese are becoming the next "bang for the buck" just like the C4 is now. Even though I favor C4s, hard to say no to that much car at that price.
