Modified C5 (pictures)
Hi,
I was at a car show this past weekend and this C5 was there. I was surprised at all the mods done to this car. Has this car been posted here before and what do you all think of it.

Good for show, I guess. I'd have to see it in person to make a real decision.
One thing I HATE to see on an appearance modded car... are there NO options for an upgraded HVAC control unit?? I have developed a deep disdain for the looks of the stock one.

With the HAVAC control, doesnt someone make chrome ***** for it? Still its not cool looking at all. Not quite where i would go with a custom C5 But still pretty to look at

Haven't seen that one before. Looks like a good job overall. Like some of the mods, could do without others.

Not my taste but I will give props on the amount of work that went into that car. It seems about right for that level of show car. This is what the young folks want to see today, so be it.
