It is available from a company here in Michigan. The price for the company to take your c5 and replace it with their fiberglass kit is around $35,000

I do not recal their name, but I have herd from other Vette club members that you will not get your money back out of it if you sell it. I do not believe the company will sell the kit, but a compleated car done in their shop.

Yes, GWurst is correct, the name is Advance Automotive Tecnology

The "classic" look has to grow on you...I kind of like it. The majority of modifications we do to our cars will not give us a return for our money on resale.

I've seen several over the years at the big shows. They look like they are well done, but way out of my price range.

I've seen a few at shows and they do tend to grow on ya. Next to a real one they look big and wide-because they are. C5 under and 53 looks, to me is a big improvement, but to each their own.
