I think so too, if the body work was done properly I think the c6 front wouldn't look bad... not saying I would personally do it but I think it would look better than the non popup lights offered for the c5

You guys are missing the point - the Lambo doors are the real killer.

I personally don't like the C6 front on a C5, but it is far from garbage. If it runs and drives great, I would have put pics of the engine bay and talked about any work done. He needs to clean up the ad, and I think it will sell for $10-11k.

The Corvette is one car you'd think would be hickerbilly proof, but that just ain't so...

Those frog-eye head lights people put on the C5 are hideous looking, and those who install them should be stood up in front of a firing squad!

Hi,
Here is my car I built back in 2000, with a Spectre Werkes kit mixed with Lingenfelter upgrades,

475 RWHP. I had it doing low 11's and put over 100k miles on it. Still have the car, still runs great and I think it still looks good almost 20 years later.
I installed the headlights, please do not shoot!
Just want to point out that 20 years later, Chevrolet is selling Corvettes with tail fins, ground effects and projector headlights...

Those headlight mods don't look as bad as the frog-eye ones (nothing does), but I still like the stock pop-ups better. I do like the lights in the license plate cover though...

The car is wet, and didn't melt, that's a plus!
