Good looking car you got youself, if you don't do anything else lower it a little to fill those fender gaps. It'll look 1000x better.

Congratulations on your new baby! Hard to miss a yellow C5 going down the road, like automotive sunshine. Love 'em. Best wishes!

You silly guys.

A well cared for, stock C5 is still an impressive road machine. It's also a great platform for customization. do what you want while you enjoy it.

Except this...don't do this.

you'll love it. Great riding car has enough power being stock. I had a C4 before my C5, loved them both. After driving them it's hard to find other sports cars to replace them. Beautiful Chevy
