Default Need Help identifying wide body kit.

Hi,

Long time I haven't been here. But I need the C5 folks help.

To make a long story short, the bodyshop that is doing my camaro was also doing a C5 wide body conversion for a guy. The guy basically inherited an almost new C5 along with a huge, huge chunk of change, etc, etc. Well, guy blew all the money in vegas along with other nasty habits. He was into the bodyshop for 8K and then told them to stop since he didn't have any more cash.

This past weekend the guy sold the car to the bodyshop. The owner of shop wants to remove the bodykit and put it back to original (car is not painted). I'm trying to identify the maker of the kit. It looks very close to a C5R kit, but with subtle differences - has grill work above the front tires, has the recess center on hood, on the front fascia right in the center where licence plate would fit is an area for 2 5 inch driving lights. I know my descriptions are vague, won't have pictures till this coming weekend.

Kit is going to be sold minus the side skirts only because they've already been glassed to the body and upon removal, may not be sellable.

Has anyone seen any kits on the market that come even close to the description I gave? Any help appreciated. If anyone is looking for a C5 wide body kit, this kit will be available at a steal compared to cost of new.
