I like the Euro tail lights and side markers on Torch Red as they lend some contrast but I agree the fogs should come off if you're allowed. I think your side skirts and splitter are great so I would encourage you to leave them be. It's very cool they let you use US-format tags there - I'm surprised it's allowed.

The problem is the shipping cost and taxes + 25% (VAT and douanes)
In US the rear bumper about 700 $ , to France about 1700 euros ......
Thank you very much for your appreciations, it is true that the red torch allows a lot of things .

That is what I was wondering. If it didn't cost so much, then a new US bumper would be the way to go. Good luck with the body work! The diffuser and whole car look great.

As much as I haven't liked the difs I've seen to date, I must say that comes the closest to doing it for me. Nicely done and the car is beautiful - the C6 Z wheels look great. Looks kind of like a Euro-spec car with the rear tails and fogs and the yellow rear side markers. The Z06 badges - not so much but the car is tastefully modded.
I've been trying to get Pete to do a urethane rear fascia with an integrated ducktail spoiler and we are almost there but I should ask if he can integrate a diffuser in while he's at it.
Btw, where are you located - I see the CA tag but the number format is wrong and the photo setting is throwing me off as well. Great shots, though!

boinet, Bienvenue sur le forum.
Your modifications look very well done, and I agree that the rear fog lights do look more like ones that belong on a truck. I know it is a financial problem importing parts from the US. There is a Greek company producing body parts for the C5 but I don't know if they make a rear fascia or not, or if importing from Greece would be any less expensive for you.
Bonne chance.
