C5 Speedster Conversion - anyone done?
This looks interesting, but the photos are such extreme close-ups that I can't really tell what it looks like.

Anyone done this, or have a profile photo of one installed?

There is another site that has that. I'll try and find it.
Oh wait-I can't find it right now. There is a lady on Acura-Legend.com, she works for a site that sells that, but AL.com is down right now-oops.

While I do not have pictures of the car, I have seen one C5 with this conversion. IMO, it did nothing for the looks of the car. As a matter of fact, it was downright fugly. But, others may like the look.
