Really, both are quite cool. And, IMHO, add a more aggressive stance to a C5. Enjoy.

I went with #1 on the front and the matching ACI side skirts, and I am very happy with my decision.

Of course, I'm biased too.

I vote for #1 and forgo the rest of the body kit.
There is another manuf of this spoiler out there that has much better quality than both the ACI and Ecklers pieces. He used to work for Greenwood and now does some of his own stuff. I can get contact info from my body guy if you're really interested. I have one of his pieces on my car now and had one of the Ecklers pieces before. So I can verify the quality difference in the two is huge.
