Default C5 ZR1 front fenders, whats your take

whats everyone think of the ZR1 front fenders for the C5, been pondering them over the wide body ones about.

only thing that concerns me is i cant seem to find a good enough pic to see how the top line of top vent flows into the door.

interested in the CF ones, for weight reduction.

thanks

I like them. If they make a widebody version to match the flared quarters, id get them.

I want them.....just a matter of time. My only concern is how close they look like a Pontiac Firebird fender.

yep i do to, combined with the carbon fiber widebody rear fenders, and a CF hood should reduce the weight quite abit.

been lookin around for a CF front bumper and rear bumper but no luck there. anyone seen those around or heard of anyone making them.

worse comes to worse, id like the tigershark front end, any input on the duraflex material, wondering if thats lighter then fiberglass? how well it holds up?

Thank you. Tigershark bumper cover and Carravaggio hood.
I posted, though, to show the fenders mounted. I left my vents unpainted to show-off the carbon.

Too squared, it doesn't flow with the doors or the rest of the car. It's like buying a c4 and putting a c5 body kit on it. What do you think abut a C5 body kit on a C4?
