Anyway, here are some pics, as well as the basics about our parts.
they are in production now, and we will be shipping the first kits Monday, May 1, so you can be ready for Corvette weather, which will be here before you know it.

We Have them for the C7 corvettes as well, and here is a link to the post for them, as well.
Didn't see a C5 price on your web site, also I would LOVE a set of these for my '55 Ford truck that scrapes more than my vette on my driveway. Thanks, L8R ZFLASH
Yea, it will take a few days to get pricing together, and update the website.
You guys are getting a super early look at them, as I just got the first prototype set made and installed this evening.
I will likely do a limited quantity intro price as well, and I'll post a link here in the forum once I get everything all squared away. (similar to what I have been doing with the C7 guys)

That's genius. My driveway has a good slant, but I don't scrape that far up, just the flap bellow it. That looks great, though, nice work.
Hey thanks for the kind words, guys. FYI, I wasn't originally going to do a set for the C5, but I went to a Corvette club meeting here in CA, and several C5 owners expressed interest, and gave me a little bit of an education, where I learned that the C5 actually has more front overhang than the C6, so scraping is more of a problem.
Also, here are some Pics showing the car on the ground, with the plates installed.
