Looks nice to me too...

...for a C6.

Seriously, I love the look of the C5 bumper with the dual/split fog light/intake coves. I think it is one of the best aspects of the C5 design.

Although this bumper isn't bad (and I've certainly seen worse), I never have understood the desire to mix generational components. Get rid of the pop up C5 lights and add this bumper and you've basically modeled a C6.

Just my .02!

I've seen it in person - the guy shows up once in a while at the Scottsdale Pavilions. He did the work himself - for which I give him a lot of credit for trying something different.

If you like the front of the C6, you might like this. Personally - that's the part of the C6 that I like the least. I admire his abilities and his effort, just don't care for the end result.

Can we get any better pics?

I'd also like to see the flags on. IMHO removing the flags from the C5 kills the ENTIRE front end, it's quite strange.

You'll also note that he removed the "Camel toe" from the center of the hood. He did a great job, but I like the C5 nose better.

Nice work. Looks like he really likes the C6 - C6 fogs, markers, front fascia and wheels. The flat black B-pillar is interesting. He ID'ed 2FPerformance as the shop that did the work - does he work there?
