Default Need Opinions!!!

I have a idea that I want to get everyones opinion on figured no better place to find out if I have a good idea or not than with fellow corvette owners and lovers like myself. Ok here it goes I was looking at my vette the other day and I was thinking that my C-5 vette would look really nice with a kit that would look like the old school sting rays with the side pipes, not the front or rear of the car just the old school side pipes. Maybe something like the newer I hate to even say it ...... ford cobra mustangs had when they came out with the moulding that went down the side that was in the shape of side pipes and then the actual exhaust pipe came out. So there it is my idea. I'm sure lots of other people have thought of it. Maybe not, but I haven't seen any kits or custom pics of any C-5 or C-6 vettes out there like what I have described. So let me know what you think. I appreciate any feed back good, or negative. Just an idea.

This idea has been talked about quite a bit. There are supposed to be major frame/structural impediments to doing this on a C5.

Default Thanks

I appreciate your response figured others had to have thought about it before. I think it would look sweet! Would you have to modify the frame to make it work?
