New C5 Product Release - Offered here First!
This light-weight (1.5 lbs) self-adhesive overlay is made of .100 ABS plastic that's lightly textured to offer a first class satin-gloss finish. The appearance of this product is far beyond any other black-out fascia options available. It truly looks as though it belongs, and was originally manufactured on the C5 Corvette.
The installation procedure could not be made easier! Simply remove the backing of the double-sided foam tape, pick up the unit by inserting fingers into the louvers, line it up with your existing louvers and press it on! It's that easy. Installation including preparation shouldn't take more than 10 to 15 minutes. Installation instructions with photos are provided.
This product was developed for those of us that want the blacked out lower fascia, but don't want to actually paint the area. This will eliminate the need to search for a qualified painter, as well as eliminating the risk of over spray in undesired areas. It also eliminates to need the repaint the entire fascia should you ever choose to do away with the blacked out area. Best of all, it offers your Vette the much richer look that it deserves!
Our mounting procedure allows this mod to later be removed, resold, and reused in the event of trade-in, etc. Due to the 1/32" foam tape, there will be no chaffing caused to the paint under our overlay. Being that this ABS product is less than 1/8" thick, it will not be affected by exhaust heat (providing your tips are mounted correctly and not touching your fascia).
Our mold was formed by using a new OEM mounted rear fascia for measurements. Being that the body panels and their mounting on our C5's are not precision, we have found that no two rear fascias and their mounting are exactly alike. Aging, weathering and heat exposure has also taken it's toll in slight to extreme alteration of our fascias original shape. Therefore our overlay could not be formed to make an exact molded fit on all C5's. However, regardless of whether it’s an exact flush fit or not, the ABS plastic is flexible enough to further form to your existing fascia. We have fitted this product on several C5's and found it to fit even those with warped vent louvers. If you have severely warped vent louvers, this would probably be the best time to correct them with the bumper reinforcements available from the various supporting vendors on the forum. If for any reason you find that this product cannot be fitted to your satisfaction, your purchase price will be refunded, minus shipping costs, providing that you notify us within 7-days of receipt.
We're honored to offer this product to our CF friends and customers first. So much so, that we're offering it to "CF Members only", at $100.00 off retail throughout September. Retail price on this product is $429.95. Your price throughout the entire month of September has been reduced to $329.95 plus shipping. Sales tax will apply to CA residents. This special pricing ends Midnight, September 30th 2006.
First shipments are to ship out on September 1st 2006. We are accepting pre-orders prior to this date. However, you will not be billed any sooner than the day prior to shipment. Shipments will be sent out by UPS Ground Service. Shipping cost will range from $20.00 to $40.00 based on your proximity to California. If you ask for an exact shipping quote, please include your City Name, Zip Code, and whether your address is Residential or Commercial. If you can have this item shipped to a commercial address, you'll save a few $$$. You can place your order by PM, Email, Phone or Posting to this thread. We accept Visa, Master Card and PayPal to best accommodate you.

Well done Richard. That's a great idea. Your description is exactly why I put the vinyl decal on my lower. I just couldn't bring myself to paint it. I hope this works out for you. It looks like an excellent solution.

Interesting product. Looks well thought out. You got a winner, especially if all the installers look like the one in the pics.

Interesting concept. Do you have any more close up photos but at an angle primarily in areas where the abs plastic meets the bumper? I am curious to see how well it blends in with the rest of the bumper.

Looks like a very product. Now I have something else to think about getting for the car.

I like it!!!!! Probably won't sell to many to black C5's though.
Unless you want to use a spray can, painting the rear end is permanent and will cost you $250-$300 easily.

Looks like a great solution for those that want the lower portion of the facia black. Me - mine came from the factory that way!
Thanks for offering the special deal to CF members!

Any future plans for alternative designs that also change the lower facia? Something with a splitter down the center, or a single big vent hole (like tigershark) with Z06 screen options?
Any plans for colors? I'd like a charcoal one, something similar to the color pontiac uses on birds and grand prix's.
Just curious, glad to see this product out there.
