New C5 Body Kit - is this Wrong?
While surfing eBay for my next Rice mod for my C5, I came across this full body kit.
The complete 8-piece fiberglass body kit transforms the 1984-1996 C4 Corvette into the 1997-2004 C5 body style!!!!
The kit is listed here It sells for $895.
So, what do you think? Good Idea? Or is this just plain Wrong?

With that, you'll just end up with a car that most folks will recognize as a C5 wannabe.
Of course, you can stick on that Type R sticker and make everything alright...

Wow! I was hoping for some belly laughs out of this one, but it has misfired, big time.
I can't believe that everyone is taking this thread so seriously! It was meant as a joke, but the vast majority of replies are stern and unyielding. Did we have a "sense of humour bypass" over the weekend?
I was sure that the wording of the Poll would give away the humour... guess not. Folks need to lighten up and

I voted #3. BTW- I'm afraid to ask, but what do you do for a living? and what did you do with all your time before CF?
