Default C6 Cover on a C5

I am lending my sister my silver cover for the 2000 she just bought and I have found a c6 cover for $50 in red and before I jump on it, I am wondering if it will fit my c5. What do you guys think? Thanks

-Adam

I would think so. When I got my cover it just said for corvettes, not C6,C5 or anything like that. I know some do but not for $50.

Depends if it's a "custom fit" cover and if so how "custom" it is.

Its an authentic C6 cover, it has the C6 flag on it and it is on his car in the picture. He said he paid $325 for it new and sold the car and has the cover still.

If it's custom made for the c6 it will not fit. The C6 is smaller.

Thats what I was worried about. I'm waiting for his email reply to find out how custom it is. I dont need a cover as my car is fine in the garage but if it will fit, $50 is good deal. I just thought maybe someone on here with a C6 cover would chime in.

Taking that into consideration. I guess I'll just wait for his reply and see what he says. Thanks, and if anyone has a C6 cover on their C5, please chime in.

By looking at the C6 its rear seems larger, I would have thought it would have been the other way around.

Well all I can say for $50 it might be worth picking up and in the worst case scenario you would or could re-sell it

Let us know either way - It'll be close

Thanks,Matt

It won't fit. My 2005 C6 is almost 6 inches shorter than my C5 ZO1.
