Default C5R Body

I'm in the process of speaking with John from Caravaggio Corvettes . I am thinking of purchasing a C5R body for a road car . Is there anyone else who would be interested in such a modification . John would consider doing the bodies if there is enough people interested .

Could you give me an estimate on how much the body will cost? And also, are you going to be adding the fat wing that the C5R has? If so, can you tell me the cost of that also? Thanks

That would have to cost over $10,000.

I wanted to add a wing on my car that looks like the C5R, and I was looking through webpages and found this page.......http://www.caraddons.com/Catalog/subpages/APR_spoilers.htm

Those spoilers look like the one on the C5R and some look better. It is at an affordable price, at least for me. Just though I'd share this.

The mofications would consist of a New Hood , Front Bumper , Front SPlitter , Fenders , Doors , Quarters , Rear Bumper no plans for a wing at this time . In speaking with John , the price will be around 7 to 8 Thousand .

I would be interested in a replica hood that would work with the rest of the stock body.

The one from Ecklers isn't funtional though. Maybe seeing one on a car would change my mind but I think the one on the C5R looks alot better.

This hood is an RK Sport hood. I called RK Sport on Monday and found out that this hood won't be available until after January. They are also working on a complete C5R body kit that should be available a few months after the hood.
