Default C5 body kits

Are there any wild body kits for the C5? Like kits that make it look like a saleen s7 or something like that. I've seen them for the rx7 and nsx. I really haven't found any body kits for the C5.

Why would you want your C5 to look like a saleen? The only wild kits I have seen are the widebody kits...do a search for widebody kits and you will find alot of information.

Hi,
I just came across a beautiful kit if you are interested in a vintage style for your C5. It is installed by Classic Reflections. The web site is www.crcoachworks.com. Check it out it really is a nice kit for a C5 to look like a 61/62 but giving you all the advantages of a modern day beautiful car, the C5.

No Need for body kit! But not everyone is the same I guess! I thought body kits were for Honda's and the like so they look fast when in reality they well aren't!

Thanks,Matt

FINALLY!!! A corvette body kit that looks decent. But man, thats an arm and a leg. You can get kits for the acura nsx or mazda rx7 that will make your car look like an out of this world supercar for that money. How much did it cost to do the complete install, paint, etc?

Anyone else know of any body kits more like this?

You can always sell the Vette and get an NSX or RX7 and then get that body kit that makes it look like a world supercar
