Default C6 sytle front end for c5
Am I the only one that thinks this looks pretty good on a C5? or how the C6 should have been with flip ups lol... its called the DURAFLEX - ZR Edition Body Kit. not planning on getting just thought it looked cool. anyone have pics of a C5 with a similar kit?

Looks bad because the C6 is all about flat surfaces and sharp edges. The C5 is all around flowing curves. Two completely different clashing styles.

I hope you are the only one. I'd hate to have to see that in person. What a travesty.

That looks terrible. I mean, just buy the damned C6. I wouldn't put a C5 nose on a C4, either. LOL
