I wonder what the cost average is? I couldn't find any indication on the web site. They do look cool though.

Those look pretty cool. I like this better than the kit that makes it look like a 53. I wouldn't install either kit though.

That is slick!

If I didn't already have customization plans for my '01 'vert, I'd jump at that!

Not sure of shell cost, but there is a guy I know who utilized his C5 and had the work done. Georgeous kit and the envy of car show attendees. He is asking well over $100K.

That '53 looks very out of proportion to me whereas this one works.

Problem is, the C5 really does look better so why bother? Yeah, I know, to stand out in a crowd

This CRC conversion give you the '62 C1 look with all the safety features and comforts of the newer technology. I love the look of the C1 but the real cars feel too small - this one works.
