Sorry, but the sharp lines of the scoop don't go with the fluid lines of the basic styling. I think that's why some guys "don't get it".

I understand the look, just not everybody's thing. But it's your car and as long as you like it, that's all that matters.

I like the retro C2 look to it. Still not sure if it fits the C5's lines. I bet it looks better in person than in pics.

I bet it would grow on me.
