C4 to C5 Body Kit
 

Have you guys seen this C4 to C5 conversion kit? I think it looks pretty cool. I wouldn't personally do it to mine being that I'd be concerned that it would depreciate the value of the Colector Edition. But it would be fun to do to a project coupe. Have any of you seen or done this? If so, I'd love to see some pictures of the completed project.

Why but ground effects on your C4 when you can make your C4 LOOK LIKE A C5! This easy-to-install fiberglass kit features 8 pieces… a front bumper, a rear bumper, two side vents, two side skirts and two lower door skins. All are direct bolt-on components with the exception of the door skins, which require the use of a special epoxy adhesive (included.) All components are gelcoated - ready to be sanded and painted. (Light kit not included but we do have it in stock call for price) This kit normally sells in corvette america for $1294.00 But since where the new kid on the block we are listing this item with NO RESERVE. Good Luck everyone!

why?

:willy: :iagree:

Why, indeed. If I wanted a C5, I'd buy one, not destroy my '96 CE by making it look like one..

first of all, it doesn't even look like a c5

it looks like crap, and probably doesn't fit any better

No matter what, still looks like a C4 to me.

:ack:

:willy: :iagree:

I'm with you on that one....... :iagree:

Just buy one of the one you don't have...can't cost too much more than parts, labor, and depreciation for a kit.

I love the look of the C4, especially the 95 and 96 models. I can't explain why...I guess it is more angular than the C5.

B.

may look at if i was rebuilding a total

Those pics look photoshopped!

:willy: :rofl:

They're not, they are real. Notice they haven't installed the light kit.

if you want the look of a c5, buy one. by the time you buy this kit, paint it, and install it, your time and money would have gotten you into a real c5.

the c5's would not except you and you would be disowned by the c4's.

Looks-wise I like it. However, I am in agreement that it is probably poorly executed and a dumb idea overall.

Is this a mandatory once a week topic? :willy: :willy:
These c4 to c5 conversion threads are just as bad as the floor mat body side moliding threads in c5.

:iagree:

I had body mods PERIOD. Besides that I would never screw up a nice vette to make it look like something it's not if I wanted another c5 I'll get one.

However, in those pics the c4 to c5 kit on that one looks the best out of what kits I've saw so far.

I have one.... Now you all don't get rip me apart. It was already C5'ed when I got it... I loved the look of it and it was my first corvette (89 red convertible). I was offered $4000.00 more than I paid for it less than 2 hours after I bought it... Should have taken the money I guess but like I said it was my first. It looks ok with the exception of the deck lid. It just does fit 100% correctly and there is a problem with the top supprt wires rubbing on the deck lid... I have some fiberglass work this winter. I know this is not well received in the forums but I like it. I have had only positive comments on it thus far. Now trying to make amends I now have a 89 white coupe (all C4). Should be on the road within the month. Love it also!!!
