Default C-5 Winged

I saw this and I had to stop and take a PIC. This one is the only vette I have seen with a wing that actually looks nice IMO!

Can I e-mail this pic to someone for posting since I do not know how to.

Thank you in advance, I am sure you all would want to see them (3pics).

She is a magnetic red with chromes and an awsome look. In fact she is even lowered.

This vette was spotted in a FT HOOD, TX. parking lot and is also what motivated me to buy one for me! (I do not know who owns it)

don't bother - the style police will give you so much grief over it that you'll find it wasn't worth your time.

Well, that may very well be so. In all due honesty, many of us do not like to see outrageously and ostentaciously styled wings on the C5, other than the Pratt and Miller C5R and C6R GTS rear racing wings. But, gee, I still want to see it. To each, his, or, her own.

I think she looks pretty unique and not rice looking. its almost like a Pontiac T/A mini.
I still dont know who makes them or if anyone has actually seen one of these in person?
I saw a white C5 convert with a LAMBO COUNTACH rear wing and that my friends was horible.
Thaks for posting them antvette!

i'm honestly not a fan of things like wings........but on a car like a corvette they could actually be a functional item since a c5 should, in most cases, easily top 165 mph if not 175 mph in stock form. that's quite unlike the ricers with coffee can mufflers that think they're cool with big wings/spoilers. bub

Kind of looks too small for the car. Not for me but to each his own.

On the other hand, if the wing is just for asthetics and not designed for proper downforce, it could degrade high speed stability.

The C5 is designed for stability at the limit without a wing.

I have only seen one wing I liked on the Vettes but it wasn't that 1. It really does look like it belongs on a Stealth.

The C5 has such an amazing profile at the back half that I'm not sure any wing/spoiler can improve upon it.

Not bad, but I'm not a big fan of wings on the Vette.
