Re: Nasty's ride! (Speed-Racer)
Nice look..
One comment though..
Is anyone else unhappy with the fit of the rear fascia to the rear quarter panels at the bottom edge? I know I am with mine. This picture gives a very good example of what I consider a problem. It just looks like the part is deformed slightly.. but I've seen it on every C5 I've looked at.

Totally agree. It looks like its ready to pop off of mine. But everyone's is like that. Maybe I'll just put a "Powered by ^&%" rice-boy sticker on it to cover it up and add 40HPs

If memory serves me that looks just like S.W's car. His is a white car with the same wheel combo. Excepet his has Wilwoods on it. And all I can say about both is that they both look fantastic. I am drooling all over my keyboard at the stance of the car.

Its tough to keep up with all the changes he is constantly doing. :smash: I missed the GTG on Saturday because I had to work, but I was thinking about it during the day. Glad you guys had fun. :)

Those rims do look sweet, especially with the car that low.
As for the fitment of the OEM Rear Fasica, my car had the same problem. It is very noticable on lighter colored cars. This was another reason of mine for going with the Specter Werkes fiberglass rear fascia. With a good body shop doing the install, the seam between your rear fenders and rear fascia will look MUCH better than stock. Mine lines up perfect and doesnt annoy me everytime I look at it now!

Just a reminder Nate @ XTREME has been shipping HRE's like hot cakes.We get very fast service due to our volume and our HRE's are all on sale and deeply discounted this month and next.
If you like the look I have 547's on my Lingenfelter 427 Twin Turbo and my stage2 700 HP car before and they are as functional as nice looking,you will probably be very surprised on how we can make them affordable.David S.

Re: Nasty's ride! (Wicked C5)
Great looking car. Man I love the way 19/20's look on these cars. There is a guy in my home town with 19/20 HRE 547's on a pewter vert. It is a VERY sharp car. :yesnod:
