You have to get the side skirt because the rear fenders tie into the side skirts. Just look were the rear brake ducts are.

I say number 1, but use a ACI rear lip spoiler. The fender flares are tough.

It'd be nice to see a combo of both kits... Side flares/skirts from #1 and rear spoiler from #2. I think that'd look great!

You are correct. The side skirts tie in the rear fenders.

#1 just then way it is. I am not a fan of spoilers of any sort, but that piece of plywood stuck up on the rear of #2 looks like dog crap to my eye.

There is no plywood in the spoiler. If you don't like it that's fine but some others do, taste is an individual thing. It's not much different than the Tiger Shark rear spoiler.
Here's a couple better pictures of the rear spoiler.

IMO, you've got the best wide body kit around. Still keeps the same lines as the C5 was designed with but it gives it that subtle widebody look. If I had the dough, I'd go with your ACP kit in CF.

Not big on body kits but I did like the first one (black). The Caravaggio is definitely unique, expensive I bet.

I'm not a spoiler fan, but it looks great in the second pic. Let us know where you come out.

2nd follows C5 lines better, in my opinion. The raised spoiler in the 1st pic is not my cup of tea.

It's your car who gives a F about what the others say.

The wheels on the MSG tucked too much inside IMO

First one would be my choice. Don't like the looks of the little pin tail duck look of the rear on the second one.
You are correct. The side skirts tie in the rear fenders.
