Perhaps you could find some idea's looking at he yellow C5R , stripings , letters etc , however thats all about taste

I think that it looks terrible. The C5West kit is the worst thing I have ever seen for a C5, and that includes Greenwood's parts...

I suggest you take all the C5West crap off, get a tigershark front end to match the rear (which looks great) and get a MCM or Halltech hood.

I like what you have done to the rear of the car, but IMO the hood is moe than I would put on my car. But it is your car and if you like it, then that is all that should matter. I have seen others with this same hood (or something similar) so you are not the only one with it on the car. Some nice stripes would look good on the hood.

I hate to agree and no offense but it does look terrible. The C5 looks awesome the way it is. Adding all that stuff makes it look like something from that movie Judge Dredd.

I don't think I have ever posted a negative comment about anything posted here in almost 3 years, but you asked and I have to say without anything personal that, that is hideous (IMO) There is sooooo much useless, non-functional stuff going on forward of the windshield it takes away from the beautiful C-5 lines completely. In addition the panel fit near the headlights is ......not so good. AGAIN only my opinion but its your car and if you love it, Life is Good.

Well I do not like it, but I am a stock looks kind of guy.

But obviously you do like this sort of thing so have at it. It is your vette. To go along with the theme you need some C5R headlights.

Not my cup of tea, but it looks like you are enjoying it and that's all that matters.

Rear and sides of the car looks nice.

Hood is another thing altogether! Way too much going on there!!

If you are going to keep that hood, I agree that you should use the C5R Headlights and add some Black color to the Hood via stipes or lettering!!

Good Luck!

Here are my thoughts. If you've got about 700-1000 HP to back up the looks.........OK. If not, well it's kind of like a little kid in a hulk costume dressed up for trick or treat.

i honestly dont like the hod to be honest, if you put in all that work, shave the fenders down so the stock hood fits on and put the stock front plate cover on and make sure you put on some huge wheels to match, other than the hood it looks great

I will reply to your question, but please do not get mad. I do not like it at all. The natural lines do not flow. It looks to ricy or maybe to redneck, one or the other. Sorry, but you asked. I do like the yellow, even though I have a torch red one.
