obviously if there was a write up it would of been post but since this is the only information of a c5 to c6 headlight conversion why don't you waste Laurent Bensaid, of 'Corvette Specialty of California' in Riverside time instead of ours since he is the one that actually did the conversion

I just noticed the side body kit. I have seen some real cool C5 Body kits but the ones i saw were like $25K to do. One of them was done by a company in Germany.

Well, to be honest, you wernt very nice yourself when you replied with:

"Thanks for the flaming. Feel free to continue wasting bandwidth."

in post #8.

Just a friendly suggestion. Most times its best to ignore a post or 2 that may seem like flaming. Suppressing emotional reactions is often times benficial. In any event, you only make matters worse by replying how you now think that every reply in your thread is condascending.

There is a company in Florida now that is doing that body kit that was done in Germany. I think its the same person. If I find the link I will post it.

You know, if I push myself hard enough, I might be able to appreciate that ride. But right as I push myself past that B-1 bomber wing in the rear, I loose all respect for it. The only reason you should put a fin that big on your ride is because you belong to the Formula 1 circuit and that's your race car, or if it adds 150hp to the rear wheels.

I could easily get past it then.

If you want this thread closed, you need to contact a moderator to do that. Check who's on at the bottom of the C5 General page.
