I like the one with the dual round headlights and the quad tail lights better.

I've seen one of these in person. Nicely done. Cost I think is about $30K over the cost of a C5.

Guy in our club has one and owns a shop to do the conversions. I think he quoted $35K for the conversion.

I like my C5 as is.

I saw a red one just two weeks ago here in Denver. It sounded great but I didn't like the look of it at all.

I'll admit that it definitely turned my head, because it was unique, not because it looked good. But what do I know!!

That's pocket change at $30k!
