Wide body kit
For those who like to make their vette wider, look at the following site
http://www.us-importe.com
If there are questions because the page is in german, just ask, IŽll answer.
I never saw one of these on the street, just found it while surfing in the net.

NoMercy, you might as well get this since you already have 100+k in that awesome vette as it is. They have 335's on 13 inch rims in the rear! :cheers:
Here are some pics...
Can someone please convert the german marks to US dollars...
We sell complete Kits or complete cars -ready to go -

DM 99.000
Hell, I can't read German but that sounds HIGH!

Re: Wide body kit (C5-VERT)
1 US Dollar is 2.20 Deutschmark.
So the 99.000 DM are equal to 45.000 Dollars

Are you sure about this conversion? That's a ridiculous price just for some body parts? That's even rediculous for an installed price.

Re: Wide body kit (wwashing)
It definitely re-defines the "big butt" term which has been applied to the C5's rear. I do kind of like the exaggerated proportions...no need to "tub" there.

Oh hell yes!!! :D That would solve my tire problems for sure!! But this thing has gone on long enough. Caravaggio is supposed to be working on a set of widened rear 1/4 panels though. :D

Re: Wide body kit (C5 Frederik)
That is awesome.. Too bad no one in the states makes something like that. I would be interested in the rear quarters...

Man, I really like that. It does look like a Porsche knockoff but no one else around me would have a C5 like that :D

Re: Wide body kit (C5 Frederik)
I think that looks pretty slick, especially the front.
