Anyone got one for sale? Perhaps someone that purchased one and changed their mind, sold the car, etc, etc...

I know it's a long shot but with my luck, I'll buy one and get an email asking why I didn't ask if someone had one for sale...

Thanks,

Hey Mark.

I want the same thing, maybe we could get a GP discount going. I'll call and ask them tomorrow.

By the way, what brand and line of paint does GM use on the C5's?

MyBlueC5

I believe GM is still using Dupont. I can check it out for sure. And HELL YEAH, I'm in if you can get a group buy going...

JUSTIFIED C5

I would like one of the specter werkes rear bumpers also. Count me in.

Im interested.I thought awhile back someone in a post was saying that the fit was not very good and there was a problem with cracking. I think it was the specter werks rear fascia.

A solid fiberglass piece will require some work to get it to fit properly. Just the nature of the beast. Consider all the C5's out there, do you think the outline of the rear deck and quarter panels is exactly the same from car to car? So when you're trying to match up a rigid fiberglass part to 97-04 C5's, no way you can get it perfect for all cars. That said, the build variances in the C5's are very small compared to the C3's and C4's.

As for me, I plan on blending it in to my quarter panels for a seamless look.

So, we have 3 for sure and between the different forums, I'm sure we can get more takers!

There's other forums out there? OMG, am I sheltered or what? Are you sure? My computer doesn't go anywhere else...

On a professional level, I have to completely agree. I have yet to put a piece of fiberglass anything that didn't require some sort of modding on a customer's car. In fact, the last set of Caravaggio frt spoilers didn't fit... we had to cut them in half and widen them.

Anyway, any bodyshop that installs the rear cover will be able to trim/fit/modify the rear cover as necc.

Thanks Glenn for your time...

I spend 95% of my time on the CF , but yes, there are others.

This forum has by far the most traffic IMO.

Glenn,

I checked into the rear spoiler that Mid America sells. It's like teh Caravaggio spoiler but without the long ends that cross over the qtr/rear cover seam.

It's made out of TPO urethane which is what the OEM rear cover is made out of.

Point is... just to be different, I'm going to purchase the rear spoiler and buy a new OEM bumper cover. I'm going to mold it into the rear cover and see what it looks like.

Just thought I'd let you guys know before we got a group buy going...

Mark

Yes they use Dupont Paint.

Any news on the group buy yet???

I'll be VERY interested to see the results and know the labor time involved in this.

I share the identical opinions you do about all the spoilers/fascias available. The SW fascia rocks...but mucho labor involved to get it to fit and look good. The MA spoiler is the right idea, but still looks too "stuck on" (although better than the Caravaggio).

The molded-in idea is good, very good. Keep us posted.

MyBlueC5

I ordered the rear spoiler from Mid America already and the rear cover from GM.

Tomorrow I'll post a pic of a front chin spoiler we molded on a Lexus GS400 frt cover last year.

When I get the parts, I'll take pics of how's it's going...

SW makes a well made product, and only minor work is needed fitting it to the car. Aprox 3 hours to remove the stock facia, fit the new one, and remove to paint. Really finishes the back of the car .

Sent PM. I have a SW rear fascia in my garage

Nothing confirmed yet. It's kinda been a one-way street so far.

Since Mark's moving on with another solution, I sent you a PM.

I like the tail, but not the indentation around the lights and I prefer the factory plate & back-up light design too.

Thanks for posting. Always good to review the options available.
