That kit has been out for a long time. That car runs one of Jim Halls TT 1 of 3.
There is a forum memeber paras or something like that that has been working on a simular nose.

PS HOLY Sh*() can that wing on the rear get any higher on the car thats on the right...

from some angles it looks great... but I think it looks a little TOO much like a Ferrari Modena wannabe.

I don't really like that "pimp-my-ride" look: the way the bumper sticks out like it wasn't meant to fit on the car.

The front of that car is so angular and does not blend in with the flowing and rounded shape of the C5.

It needs work.

Not for me either. That wing makes it look like it should have a big whip antenna for the radio control.

Looks race ready for Japan. Not for me. It's overkill. (Can you believe I just said that) Maybe it would look better without the graphics. I think they are screwing up the lines on the car.

It needs a TON of work......does not fit at all, too many sharp lines and scoopy cut outs. I have been all over Paras case about making his project clean and flowing...I hope it turns out smooth!

The nose piece looks about as aerodynamic as a brick and I despise the wing on that.
