Fake C5 FRC

The removable Caravaggio hardtop to resemble a FRC. Top requires painting and installation. I will post some better pictures after completion. Well, time to go to work and pre fit the top prior to painting.

Total cost plus shipping to Cali, Ouch $3530.61

Re: Fake C5 FRC (nevadacoin)

IMO the hard top better than the coupe and vert with the ragtop on, but now you get to have your cake and eat it too. It's not fair :cry Is thier any way to cut mine off? JK... Post those pics, and good luck with painting

Re: Fake C5 FRC (wallstAL)

Black Magic has one of those on his C5... we were parked side by side this last weekend at a Vette gathering at Hooters. I'm sure you've seen his signature pics around here... but in person, that top looks schweet and the pics simply don't do it justice. I was also floored by his under-hood paint work, chrome and detail -- AND trunk. :)

Hope your top work turns out as good as BMs, Al ! Gonna be a nice lookin vert. :cheers:

Looks good Al.

Actually the FRC is made to resemble a Convertible with a Hardtop. :yesnod: Hence the name Fixed Roof. :)
