completely disagree with that, but I do feel it makes it look raised... an effect most try to do the opposite of.

You can do this with some black vinyl. Then if you dont like it you can just take it off. I think I remember seeing another car on here that did that.

Minus the hood bowing and it looking like the front fascia is a different than the fender. I think the light in which the pictures were taken make this look better than it actually is.

Local sign shop high speed vinyl, comes in sheets, or can be custom cut.

Looks like the Tigershark, pretty cool. About the only thing I'd suggest doing differently is rounding the top corners, the hard edges kinda contrast with all the curves on the C5 front end.

The edges need to be rounded...but it does make the front look a bit high. Most people try to get a sports car to look lower to the ground by adding a lip or a new front bumper with a lower lip...but I guess some like to show more air Indy
