Yup SP500s. No just a clear cover that is painting to hide some of the license plate (required in MN). Then a little grey to block out the actual plate number.

Some very sweet rides in this thread. My car looks like a 4x4 truck compared to some of you guys.

Here are some pics from right after I installed my Pfadt Coilovers. This is with the OEM wheels and before I had it raised slightly during the corner balance.

My car is still on the stock front bolts but longer rears from Zip. Front fenders are Faircloth and rears are Corvette Creationz TPE.
Lowered, not slammed.

Glad to see my thread from 16 years ago still going!

I miss my C5 FRC. Was a raw MFer...Long tubes, straight pipes, slammed, 330mm suede Sparco wheel. So much fun.

Luv the look and especially a fan of the blue convertible top. Thinking about a custom dark gray for mine when the time comes.

I know this is an old thread but I do like to look at slammed C5s. I just don't want to own or drive one as I enjoy the firmer and slightly lowered suspension that my coil overs provide. Since I had to drop the radiator cage another 1/4" to allow the A&A SC to fit, I don't like the idea of even slightly scraping.

Therefore I'm as low as I'm gonna go, but it's still better than the 4X4 look the day I drove it off the dealer lot in 2004.
