Default Does this actually work?

I wasn't sure if I should put this in detailing, because it's about a body kit, or put it in tune/performance because I'm asking about it's performance improvements, if any.

Ok, so I've been looking threw different Aero style body kits for a bit now, and I always come back to the GreenWood Corvette body kits.

Now I'd be looking at getting it for a C5, but I can't find any information of performance for the C5, but lots on the previous corvette models. Such as the C3 or C4.

Here is a link to their site: http://www.greenwoodcorvettes.net/gc5/index.htm

Anyone have any idea if it's as good as they are saying? Or would one be better of getting a regular Aero body kit for their car?

Greenwood has always been the leader in high performance aerodynamics...
If it says it on the site, then it must be true.

It depends on what you're looking for it to do. If you're looking for something to look absolutely heinous and painfully gaudy, then I believe it does an incredible job.

Then again, the Performance Results section seems to not be big on cosmetic modifications besides cowl hoods to clear motors and red dots....
