to be honest with ya, if I wanted a c6 I would have one. But I am one who likes the pop up headlights, hence the reason I have a c5. I also prefer the smooth lines of the c5 as opposed to the edgier c6 style. With that said, the c5 lic plate area reminds me of 80s styling where the c6 is smooth in that area.

I understand it's not for everyone but there is NOTHING out there in my opinion that looks really good. The Tigershark does nothing for me and the Specter Werks keeps the old looking license plate area. Again it's all personal preference. I happen to think the C6 rear looks really good, but that's it. Not a fan of a base C6 at all. As with Mark below, if I wanted a C6 I could easily get one, but I love my C5Z.

I don't have anything against the C6 rear bumper in fact I like the C6 completely, I guess what I was trying to say, is if you have a C5 and want to spend a lot of money on it you (not you in particular) must like the C5, so why try and make it into a C6. If you like the looks of the C6 that much they can be bought for a reasonable sum.

What was the price for the side skirts, ZR1 fenders, rear fenders and C6 style rear bumper?
