Take a look at the Tigershark body kit. Not cheap at about $5K plus install, but it does look good. My front bumper is finally done to my liking. It can be seen a little in my avatar. www.tigersharkcorvette.com I think is the site.

I ordered the front canards, side splitters and spoiler from Caravaggio Corvettes. They're having a Group purchase so you'll get a better price if you order now.

They're also making a c5 to c6 conversion.

What would you like to know?

The web site you had a question on: http://www.us-importe.com/
is for a German company that imports U.S. manufactured cars and trucks into Germany. They also have a Corvette wide body kit, which, if you go to that page, is writen up in German and English.

Here's a cut and paste:

"We built for the Corvette C5 a new special Kit : we sell the Kits or complete Cars New special Kit for the C5 - from Year 97 and up
(The kit will be installed on a original Corvette - no replika!)"


Don't you love those Germans? No Replika! In any event, here's one of their kits:
