A couple of years ago one of these conversions showed up at our local show,,,,, It was OK, but why???????
Especially now with C-5s selling so cheap.
The C-4 interior didn't look right, the body panel fit OK, but looked a bit scrunched up. From a distance (10 feet) an unknowledgable person wold not have known the difference.

I think the OP had a typo in the subject line. Once posted, it can't be changed. I think the intent was C5-R body kit.
I have never seen that body kit in person. Doesn't look bad in the pic. The price is very reasonable. I wonder what the rear looks like?

I think the ACI side skirts look better-they fit under rather than over the body. I especially don't like the piece in back of the rear wheels but that's just my opinion. I have seen it at shows-it's been around awhile.

Well i am trying to decide between the c5-r kit even tho it it is the tape on kind of deal. The price makes it worth looking at. I do not like the ACI skirts so much because they seem so small.
I think the rksport side skirt looks better. Thinking about trying to mix the rksport side skirts with the c5-r nose piece
ACI may be the way to go.. THanks for the tip

Pertaining to the ACI kit, I don't like the side skirts at all.....why? Because I LOVE the curve of the C5 down there, and then you go and make it flat all the way across??? No thanks..and don't get me started on that front upward sloping piece...
I don't like the original picture either...it's all just taste I guess.
