custom rear bumpers?
I've seen a couple bumpers for the c5. Most change the lower vents or relocate the license plates. Are there any that radically change it? Maybe like put a backwards slope to the rear? Id like the shape of a newer vette on the rear, that alone would bring it up to date.

Not exactly. That's a spoiler addition only right? My idea is hard to describe
http://www.google.com/m/search?site=...rear&sa=N#i=68 see how the c6 bumper is "sharp" at the top. the rear makes around a 100* angle in relation to the bottom of the car. Our c5 has a bubble shape to it. Rounded rear end. A spoiler does make it look better, bit I hadn't heard if many custom rear jobs. I was thinking there might be one that changes it to a c6 look

The Tiger Shark rear fascia changes a few things - and looks great in the process. That C6 style one is OK too.

A mod budget..what's that haha. I guess I need to start one. BHR, love the Z. I like two tones that are different, that definitely is. By the way, If you still have your racemesh that you removed, my 99 would like them. Lost hers to a miraculous flying deer...
