If I put a front fascia ground effect on it would be ruined in no time, I scrape enough as it is (and I'm only lowered on stock bolts)

Hi 97c5vette -

Yes on our 99 coupe, no on my Z06.

I do think a small flip to the rear fascia and a nice effects package look good on the correctly done coupe, particularly if you also have custom wheels in larger than stock sizes.

Think GBVette here...

best regards -

My C5 had them already on the car, YES. If I had to buy them and paint them and have them install, NO.

I'd put an ACI chin spoiler on the car, but probably not much else.
