Agree, never seen that before. Where did you get the front grill pieces or are they custom made?

That is an SLP spoiler. Been on a quite a few years and I love the look of it. The wheels are made by OEWheels I believe and are labeled as C6 Z06 deep dish style made in the C5 Z06 sizes. 17x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear. The tires are the C5 Z06 sizes as well. I think the wider wheels should have been standard as they fit and look great on any C5 without the widebody kit.

The front grill pieces I purchased a long time ago on the auction site. Unfortunately they aren't being made anymore. I sent the dimensions to some one quite a while ago but I haven't seen them come forward with anything on them. He was going to see about maybe producing them again. I haven't seen anything ever about someone selling used ones anywhere either so I'm not sure how many sets were ever made.

Thanks bunch for the compliments.

Wow ! c5vetteguy & the Grape Ape are among great examples of a well planned out and executed vision.
I could tell a lot of love and care went into these examples. Well done !

Thanks! The ACI ones have a slot for the pucks to install. I lost maybe a 1/2" of ground clearance. To do any work, I just drive on a 2x4 to get my jack under the car - works well enough.

We have a winner!....that is nicely done sir. If you could post up any details of what the nose and splitter set up is and how you built the system it would be appreciated. Is the front splitter removable?.....looks like a quick release pin on the support rod.

Its a RAFT Motorsports design mounting solution. Everything is fully adjustable, and has quick release pins for quick removal. It is a Ecklers front bumper, ACP front splitter, ACP carbon undertray, and ACP brake ducts.
