Default C5 Wide Body Kit at MSI

Hi everyone, we just finished up our wide body kit for the C5. These are custom made fenders for the front and rear of the C5. The front fenders are 1 1/2" wider than the stock fender. The rear fenders are 2" wider than stock. We wanted a smooth transition of the flare to the body lines. From the rear it is reminiscent of the classic "coke" bottle shape. The car pictured is a 1999 Coupe with a 440cid stroked LS7 engine. The front wheels are 18x10 with a 275/35/18 and the rear is a 19x13 with a 345/30/19 tire. They tuck under the fenders very nicely. They are made of fiberglass and are finished in a white gel coat. We also painted the complete car. We are selling these for $1895.00 for the set of 4 fenders. Plus shipping. Please allow 4-5 weeks delivery time. They are custom made as they are ordered. Just call us if you have any questions.

Wow, those look great. They're obvious yet subtle somehow. Great job.

I like it. Flows well with the stock lines but gives a more muscular stance. Like the C6Z does to the regular C6.

Excellent! I think these will be very popular, they integrate smoothly and seamlessly into the current lines of the C5.

Good luck to you guys, I'm gonna have to save up for these

so just to clarify, they are $1800 for a PAIR of panels or for the set for all four corners?

also, are you willing to break up the fronts from the rears?

reason to ask is because there are already a ton of guys with the L5 quarter panels who just need the fronts and would not be changing their existing flared rears just to get the fronts in this kit.

Great look congrats

$3600 is a chunk of change. I'd need to be nice to the wife for a long time to make that investment

as much as i want front flares i can't justify paying that much plus another grand or so to have them painted.

good luck with your sales.
