Default 54 body kit for C5

I have seen a few body kits for a C5 and would like to know where to get one. I think they look fantastic. Does anyone have any info?
I love the 54 corvette kit. I have a convertable.

It's not a kit you can buy!

There were "ONLY" a limited number of them made, they are rare and a collector edition

Thanks,Matt

The company is still in business. The 53 commemorative edition has 155 cars to date. A rep or the owner came and talked to our club last year. I think we have two or three in our club. They also have done that kit to a few Z06's. here is their linkhttp://www.aatcars.com

I saw one of these in person a year or so ago and as much as I hate to admit it... it was actually a pretty cool car. Not sure if I'd do it to mine, but it was cool to see something different. The pictures of it look pretty strange, but in person was a different story.

I came really close to pulling the trigger on this kit before going with my kit from extreme corvettes. Something about it bothered me, perhaps the rake on the windshield just does not seem correct? My widebody was also less and only 3 are in the USA,,,,

I hated them until I saw one in person. Now I think they're okay.

I've seen a few of these at various shows. IMO, they are pretty cool and seem to be well done.

I've seen them at Carlisle and it is pretty nice. Really turned a lot of heads and very few walked away with anything negative to say. I'd like to see that 62 up close.

I think that place also makes C5 station wagons right? I kidded my wife we should trade in the SUV for one to save on "fuel ecnomy" and "help the environment"

At least the workmanship on these cars is excellent. They are not my cup of tea, but I can respect them for the high quality of workmanship that went into them.
