Nah, the front looks too much like a C4. Now, if only they made it a lot rounder....

Buy a high mileage 97, it will be cheaper after paint, and won't be rice.

If I bought a C-5 it would be for the ride quality, nice interior and the LS1. I would rather have a C-5 that looked like a C-4. You would be cheaper in the long run to just get a C-5, they are pretty affordable.

Why make a C4 look like a C5. If you want a C5 go buy one.

If I wanted the looks of a C5 I'd buy one not build one out of a C4.

BLECH.. looking at that interior makes me sick.
If I want my interior to look like a FIERO, I'd buy one.

I heard lot of bad things about the company's kits though.
From bad alignments, to bad workmanship.

The labor will eat you alive. Buy a C5 if you really have to have one.

I've seen one in person, and they look like a bg turd with wheels. You can definately tell it's a C4, just by the rear window alone and hte halo. Plus the hood is funky with it being the clamsell style and leaving a ridge in the fender, that a real C5 wouldn't

I've seen 97's with decent mileage, I'm talking 30k for less that 27,ooo. Buy a real one.
