$1645 seems like a lot but if it comes with that really cool wing I might be in...................................... ....


NOT


But hey, if you want/need that type of item I'm thinking the C5 bumper isn't all that different from a C6. You could probably "adjust" it enough to make it look like it belongs.

That is pricey, but i like it! Looks a lot better than another diffuser i've seen for sale out there. Need a non-carbon fiber version for us less deep-pocketed types. haha.

Looks OK, but not sure I'd want to add one to my C5.

do you think those actually make as much of a difference to justify the price?

C5 body lines are beautiful why messed them up with a diffuser like that???? Hell unless your at the track every weekend and its a race only car I don't see the use. The way most roads are that's 1700 dollars your going to leave somewhere on the road.
