You have got to be kidding me! Is that a joke? Loudspeaker in the muffler? Well folks, it's a sign of things to come as cars become more and more like appliances.

I'm pretty sure the C-7 body panels won't fit on a C-5, but rumor has it the Camaro tail lights are a direct replacement.

Give it time, some vendor will come up with replacement body panels that look like the C7.

Try this one - it's a proper Corvette. Remember - the name Corvette came from a small, fast ship. I think this fits the bill - check out the gallery.

OK, you know that rear license plate bolt in the upper right hand corner on the C7.....yea it will fit and even in the three other holes too! Talk about it being a C5.5.5.!

Oh and will it be an upgrade if I replace all my wheel studs with the new C7 wheel studs?

I'll play, what about the shifter and floor mats?
Oh don't open that can of worms.......floor mats....

Will the seats from a C7 fit in my C5? How about the headlights? Has anyone done this yet? Rob

This is cheaper, and you can get a 'combo deal' with a 'wheelskin' and lovely 'calipercovers'!
