Not a fan of ricey "lambo" doors, but the bumper and rear spoiler look great! I plan on filling/smoothing my front bumper as well. Great job!

The front bumper looks great. Can't do that in a state that requires front plates.

Looks good. I like everything except the front. Looks like a pontiac formula? Maybe just me but otherwise nice mods.

Gotta be you. That is a stock C5 bumper. Just the ugly license plate area is filled.

I think there's a happy medium here. Perhaps fill the gaps around the plate filler and leave the Corvette name there.

I like it the way the OP has it as well.

I really like the painted rear brake ducts. Look nice...

I like it all. Very well done.

Whether it's "Lambo Doors" or "Ricey".....It's YOUR CORVETTE! And if you like how it looks, that's all that matters.....

As for the front bumper, I think the smooth look looks refined, but it does look "bare"....I agree with the one response that, had it been smoothed and the "CORVETTE" left in place, that may have looked killer.

You can always opt for CORVETTE lettering to break it up.

Sweet!

How much did the lambo/vertical door kit set you back?

Not feeling the Lambo Doors but the rest of it is nice.

Apsis splash guards. Thanks to those who like it. Those that don't every one has a say.
