Not badly done but I'd rather have put the 13k into the engine.

I agree. Looks like he did a pretty good job on it. If driving a replica is your bag, this would be the way to go. However, putting the ZO6 505 HP badge on a vehicle with half the HP, is a bit much.

The car is probably really confused not knowing what it is.

I can wear an NBA championship ring, but it doesn't turn me into a 7 foot tall black man.

Reminds me of those Pontiac Fieros that are wrapped in a fiberglass Ferrari body. All show and no go. Since GM didn't make a convertible ZO6 what's the point?

His car, his money...but good luck on getting anywhere near the asking price! If anything, the ugly face lift C5 wanna be will lower the price!

Why? Because its his money to spend. It does not look bad. looks like a lot of attention to detail. The HP badges I agree are just over the top. Id call it a C6 Mirage.

Looks pretty good to me too. Unfortunately you can buy a real
C5 for less. Probably made more sense 10 years ago.

Most C45's are cobbled together. This one appears to be better than most

It looks nicely done. If he wrecks it do they fix it with C5 parts or C4 parts? I know there is insurance for classic muscle cars, but I don't think he'll pay standard cost as if it was a regular 1987 model to insure it for what it's worth, would he?

I have USAA, and granted I have a C6 and not a C4 anymore, I pay $72 a month for full coverage.

Good execution for what it is, but the engine compartment and the front/rear overhangs cause the kit to completely miss the mark. And we don't even get to see the interior!
