Wow, the ACP Stealth body kit looks nice. A little more understated than the Z11. I found it while I was searching for pictures of the Z11 kit to figure out what the OP was so excited about:



The only thing I question is whether the C5 needs a bigger *** than it already has. the front bumper is nice, and would look great with Z06 side skirts on a non-widebody car.

Pretty sure that's a Caravaggio car, at least the back half of it is.

Personally, it's not to my taste.

Actually it looks like crap.

The rear wheels are tucked too far in, it looks like it needs the fender flares and wheels pushed out to complete the look. Dang why go that far but fall short on execution?

The rear fenders are already wider than stock, aren't they? The rear wheels appear to be wider than stock too.

Wonder if you can get wide enough wheels and tires on the car if the rear fenders were flared out even further?

Haters gonna hate.

I think it looks better than most of the modified C5s I've seen, especially with those HRE rims. Here are a few more angles:







Looks like the car was advertised for sale on this forum years ago: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-c...-interior.html. Mike was right. It's a Carravagio body kit. According to the ad, the rear is 6" wider than stock, and the rear wheels are 12.5" wide.

I agree the rear wheels need to be pushed out at least another 1-2 inches

I actually like the Carravagio kit. Makes one ask, "What the hell is that?"

Wonder how much the kit is and if it is still available.

As for the fried rice burner, stick a fork in it, it's done!

I thought that the idea was to improve the looks of a car.

Now that I've seen the pictures, I like it. I wouldn't do that to my car because I like my cars to be more subtle with the modifications. When the wheels and tires are pushed out like that design needs, the axles and hubs take too much of a beating for street useage.
