Default Sick vette on Youtube

I was playing around youtube and found a video of a c5 with a different style of non-pop up headlights and amazing body kit. Here it is:



Anyone know what kind of body kit this is? It's says lingenfelter but is that it?

After looking at the video again it looks like he did a C6 front end conversion with a widebody rear end... I just love the look of it and i'm curious to learn more about it.

Might want to remove the link. Street racing vids are frowned upon here.

It's not on here for the "race" just simply trying to get info on the bodykit. "Black out" if they dodelete this thread, see if you can capture a still shot of the car, save it to your PC, then re-post it. I am curious as well. that kit is VERY nice.

I believe/think that was a Lingenfelter body kit front and back. They don't sell them anymore. Somebody else might correct me though.

It looks like they started making something cool, and then just gave up!

That's one of the best conversions I've ever seen and quite possible the only aftermarket hood that doesn't look out of place. The only thing that's questionable is that the alleged twin turbo Vette doesn't pull that hard against a stock automatic.

Love the sound of the car - and the back end looks good. Not sold on the front end though.
