I didn't see that badge on the halo bar. That must go too.

Even if you car was indeed a pace car (which it's not), that too must go......

Very nice car, Love the color, But I am partial... Your rear wheels do stick out just like mine do, But if you lower it , It will look a lot better.. Get rid of the BTMs and the Halo emblems. I would love to get that front spoiler you have next and also a nice set of side skirts too. But in the end, just do whatever makes "you" happy. CorvetteBob

After that, I would lower it some. Other than that, looks good.

Well sometimes Shakey's right, including windshield banner and I would leave those wheels missing the hubcaps off (black wheels)

I do like spoilers but not wings on a c5

These are just opinions, sometimes less is more

that spoiler was over $600 new and it does make a difference over 100mph. Once your at 140+ the *** end sits down real nice making the car feel way more stable

Id lose the banner as well, but too each their own, thats what make the world go around. obviously this is a c6 pic, but thats the look id be going for, again just my 2 cents.


Nice car Joe!
