Me neither. I don't like the "Frankenstein" look of the modded front/rear clips. Now a custom hood, THAT I can dig . . . .

I like it, but I think it needs the EMBLEM or something! Almost to simple, but I do like it!

At quick glance it also looks similar to a TA front end

Thanks,Matt

I'm so glad GM didn't come out with this bumper for the c5, this thing looks awful.

It doesn't remind me of a C6 at all, either.

You could fit a nice sized one in there and not have any impedance.

Kind of reminds me of the C7 concept though.........

While I basically like it, I don't have any desire to try to look like a wannabe C6.

Looks good - until you have to put a front license plate on it!

Looks good. I would to run it without a front plate since that would ruin it.

I dont care for it, makes the front end look like an Acura NSX too much.
