Looking for thoughts on this C5 Body kit and overall car looks
Thinking about going for this, but figured I'd see what others thought about the body kit (Pretty sure it is the ACP Z11) or any other appearance thoughts on the car.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Body kit is nice, but the hood, wing and gas cap has to go...
I bet this car will look even better with the stock hood, no wing, and without that horrible gas cap!
Oh and the rear brake ducts to be left in black or carbon fiber...

Yeah, the gas cap is an easy R&R, the hood is a C5-R hood. I was thinking I might go with the stinger hood or maybe stock. I haven't seen the car up close so I'm going on pics alone, hood might look better in person.
rear wing - funny I'm not a huge fan of it, but I have not found another one that looks good without appearing so tacked on. No spoiler looks lousy, might go TS or S Werkes rear fascia.
This car needs to be lowered a good 1-1.5 inches as well, would do wonders...
FWIW, that car has been for sale over the last month...
But thinking of doing it on a MY coupe....

I would like the car a lot better with out the decals and the gas cap, To me it has the Viper look to it with the 2 stripes going front to rear and the fender stripes have to go also.

I don't give many cars (even exotics) a second look very often but that kit would get my attention.

I would get it all back to blue and then get the gas cap back to stock looking. Personally, I like stripes, but I don't like the ones that are on there currently. Maybe it's due to all of the vents.. the stripes just make it look to busy but would look if it was just all one color. I think the wing that is on there is fine too!
I say Go for it!

Even without the gas cap, hood, and stripes the car still looks like a pile of clutter.
Not a fan. I like the clean lines of a stock car, maybe some flares in the rear and a nice set of wheels.

The chrome kinda "cheapens" the look a little bit.
Yeah, that particular car is down to 20K for sale. Engine bay is all CF dressed.
Interior is black / mod red.
I'll go stock TIs or Corsa Indy.
FYI, the hood is not the Z11 kit hood, but the Corvettes West C5 R hood, Notice the low profile power bulge.

I like the looks, if you are going for the competition look this is a very good job. I do believe it needs to be slammed to finish it off. I agree that the gas cap needs to be changed. Also I read a few post mention the wing. I don't see a wing I do however see a spoiler.
