Maybe try posting what you're referring to or link to said "C5-R" side skirts

Stay FAR away from Corvettemods. They have a terrible reputation here. Just search for all the threads about them. Hell, I ordered from them just once and they screwed me over. Buyer beware!

C5wilts 09-18-2018 12:23 PM

That was just the best picture of it I could find

Same picture and parts are at Eckler's as well as several other vendors. I just used your note of " c5-r race skirt kit" and found multiple listings.

C5wilts 09-18-2018 03:40 PM

Thank you for that now if we could get some in put from anyone who has them on their c5. Tia

I have the C5R kit and cannot think of having a C5 without one. Everyone thinks it came stock on the 50th anniversary Corvette. This kit came from Mid America and fitment/quality excellent. Could not use the chin spoiler here as the roads are not good.

C5wilts 09-18-2018 09:19 PM

Looks as good as I was hoping

Sooooo, you don't think the car looks extremely odd without the front lip spoiler? Just curious how you can be satisfied with the front bumper being so much higher than the rest of the car.

kinda reminds me of a wheelchair van's side skirts...

that kit is just way too heavy and clunky for me.

:lol: Nailed it! LOL! I agree 100%. Those things are huge and look just like what the ricers used to run back in 2001 or so. "Subtle" is better than "bold" when it comes to C5 body upgrades. The OEM lines are soooo clean. Why jack them all up?

El original 09-19-2018 03:11 PM

There will always be some people that don't like this or that...what you have to remember is I like it very much. It looks very good without the front chin spoiler...When I see a stock C5 go by it looks so meek and mild...IMHO. If you see the response when out driving it may change your opinion. Never once did it garner a disparaging response as here on the forum...odd?! If you follow the lines on the side skirt you will see they compliment the stock lines nicely. Perhaps the pic don't do justice? Why did you not do a comparison to a Lada or a Skoda?? Yea the wheelchair van got 4 wheels too...just like the Corvette. Have a nice day.

I agree and am looking forward to getting them also

2k2wranglerx 09-19-2018 03:24 PM

It might be an age thing too...

I guess to me the C5R kit just seems like a "body kit" rather than an "enahncement" like the C7 carbon skirts and lip...
