Default Perfect looking C5!

This is the nicest C5 iv seen in a long time:

But where do you get these underskirts and the trim on the back of the wheelhouse? If im not mistaken it was for sale here recently?

A side comment. In some states its illegal for anyone, including the vehicle owner, to remove safety equipment - like airbags. Plus, if you ended up in an accident, your insurance company would probably not like it. They set their personal injury rates assuming working air bags, working ABS and working AH, if it was part of the vehicle spec. The latter should be noted by anyone driving round with a failed EBCM.

Agree on the vents. The wide body looks nice and the interior clean. I'm looking for one like this.. Found one with a blower and many mods for 15k in Texas... But not shure if it's asking for problems... Have to import it to Norway where I live

If there was a fatality, the local State Police may take it apart, depending on what state you are in.

Now we’re jumping to fatalities? And if squirrels fly and shoot people from the sky they may search for guns too. Lol.

I have to admit, I like the rear diffuser. It also sounds incredibly mean! Not my style, but definitely cool. Hope you find a good one RCS!

Picky, picky, picky! Why do people always want to pick apart someone else's ride?
I really like that car.

I think it looks very good with the exception of removing the driver air bag - I tend to like the safety features on a car.

I like it. I’ve seen enough bone stock waxer C5s over the years so I like seeing something original. It sounds like it has the performance to match the cosmetic upgrades.

I really like the rear rear diffuser but not a fan of the steering wheel as it sort of looks out of place with the other interior mods. There are some nice aftermarket options that would maintain the airbag, but it still looks great overall.

I'm digging it as well. I don't really care what people do to their car. It doesn't affect me in any way. Rear diffuser looks like the corvette creationz one. I'm planning on getting one myself.

I agree... Don't like removing the airbag... But heck, the rest is amazing. To me it looks tasteful.

I have no problems with stoc C5's but these mods looks great. Love the red to 👌.

Anyone knows where you get the skirts and front lip on this?
