I am looking for some body mods that I want to do. The hood I am getting for sure, I just love that high rise cowl hood on corvettes. I just want to know what you think of the wing. I like it but I just want to know what others think.
I will dime myself out here. I used the game Forza2 on the 360 to help me see what kind of paint and decal options I like. You would be suprised how well this works to see what your finished product will look like; rims, body, paint, vinyls, ect... Well, I put that kind of wing on it and I just loved how it looked.
Has anyone seen them on in person, and what did you think? Pics would be great!
Thank you

I had a high-rise bulge hood on my C5 (originally needed to clear a magnusen supercharger and liked the look so I kept it even when I switched out to a Procharger D1 later, and did not need it. You can see a picture of it in the gallery my ''vetteis in their somewhere. I personally do not like bolt on "aero" devices, particularly add on wings, but it is a matter pf preference. I know from personal experience that they are not really needed for stability or anything up to slightly over 200 mph, at least

Thanks for the pics of the hood. I am getting the hood no matter what. I just love the look. I am starting to second guess the wing though
