Looks to be a lot of effort. Thought it might be photoshopped but it was at a car lot.

There were kits available to do this in the late 1990s/early 2000s. Kits ...

... I love C4s and C5s—because of their differences.

I went and put on my teflon, nomex suit with some chain mail undergarments just in case I get flamed or stoned. I haven't quite figured out a defense for tarred and feathered yet, but I am hoping the teflon over nomex helps let the tar slide off and not stick.

But I actually like it. There are still kits for doing this. If someone had a beater that they were redoing anyway, it might be cool to have a new look. Not quite C4, not quite C5 but has nice lines from both.

I wouldn't spend the money to do it on a car I own but if I was looking and it was the price of a normal C4 I would consider it.

Besides the wheels it's really not the worst conversion I've ever seen.

Really doesn't look half bad to be honest, the roof seems like its not locked in all the way, the front of it looks kind of pushed up.

That's actually the best executed one of those kits I've ever seen. I've seen a few others over the years but usually it's not the entire kit, or it didn't fit well, or the paint was off or nonexistent, or any combination of the above. But really, if you want a C5 just buy one.

It has one of those aftermarket rain tops on it. Never seen one in person, only for sale on Fleabay and what not.

Although I'd never want it, like others have said it looks pretty well done.
