C5 Body Kit

Just wanted to see if I can get some feedback on these two types of body kits.. I want to do one of them in the near future but like them both and Iam trying to get a little help in chosing one.

I like the first body kit more but I like the spoiler on the second one better than the first one.

Assume the first one is ACP. 2nd one? Cost comparison?

I have heard good things about ACP. Additionally the first one carries 315s up front and 345's in rear. If your planning to race the car(rr) the ACP can also be ordered in carbon fibrer. The ACP kit can also be ordered with a killer looking "air extractor" hood (normal or high rise for Maggie users).

Would be interested in learning more about #2. Both look great.

One additional thought: Some body kits are well prepped to receive paint, others require a ton of additional sanding and minor body work. Make sure you have that covered, ie. well known vendor to avoid buying a more expensive paint job than you expected.

different colors and different angle make sit tough.

But I think I like the second one better. Better spoiler, smoother lines.

They are both made by ACP. The first one (black) is about $4000 and the Stealth kit (blue) is about $6000. They both have a wider rear fenders.

Overall, I like the second one. The first one is very close to resembling the C6Z, while the second retains the more fluid lines of the C5.

Definitely #2 if you ask me. Smoother lines. The first looks a little..oddly, clunky?

I like #1. but that could be because i have a black vette. Actually #1 makes it look more unique and #2 just looks like a wider vette IMO.
