c5 body upgrade kiy
 

Does anyone have information about crowders c5 body upgrade?kit. How it fits how hard it is to install etc.?

RE: c5 body upgrade kiy
 

I guess no one else has had the balls to say it so I will. If you want a C5, buy a C5. Otherwise, don't f--- up a perfectly good C4.

There used to be a guy on here called "Corvette Kng" (I believe) that had a nice C5 body kit. Look him up.

Here it is https://www.corvetteforums.com/showp...asp?memId=1664I don't know what happen ed to him or where he went. I have not seen him around in a while.

Gotta' second this motion there, amc...

I browsed the net THOROUGHLY for 7 weeks lookin' for my second car - maybe 1,200 vettes. I bet I saw 55 - 60 c4's with c5 bodmod kit, and most didn't look bad, BUT, the askin' $$$ was so low on most, that I presumed the owner's $$$ went into 'looks' stuff, instead of repair and mecanicals.

You decide. And there's nothin' like a finely-tuned L98.

Except a well tuned LTx...........

Just plain Lxxx. Is that cool?

RE: c5 body upgrade kiy
 

LS7 would be the coolest.

RE: c5 body upgrade kiy
 

I think I'd be just as happy withmy old L98 (in this car), now that I think about it.

I know that motor inside and out, and this LT1 I've got now, although it's pretty well tuned, is just strung a little tighter. Which means higher maintenance. AND, ya' gotta' learn the motor too.

It's a coin flip. But the higher-strungtwisters DO wear out quicker.

RE: c5 body upgrade kiy
 

Yes his car looked very good. His shop burned down with his car in it so basically everything he owned burned up.[&o]

RE: c5 body upgrade kiy
 

Ya know what. I fu**** up my car since the day I got it. I now have Cobra Mustang exaust tips. I have chrome hatch back nuts that cover the 4 black circles. Chrome emblems. Blue underbody neons. A TON OF STICKERS!!! Illegal tint thats so dang dark I cant see to back up at night. I have a brushed aluminum interior with carbon fiber pieces and a giant box with two speakers and a amp slapped on top so dang loud if I cranked it up and had all the windows closed, there would be a shower of glass in that thing. My engine compartment is "blinged out". I drive like I own the road because I consider myself THE KING OF THE ROAD. I rev my motor at stoplights up to redline and get lots of looks. I have my music cranked up 2 loud and I have every name sticker on my back and side windows you can think of AND I AM DARN PROUD OF MY VETTE CUZ ITS MINE AND I AM GLAD I MESSED IT UP IN SO MANY OTHER PEOPLES OPINIONS!!!!!!! Just for the note I am not yelling or being mean, I am just emphasizing my views.:)Later guys....**Save the wave** Also, I have alot more "chrome" pieces on the exterior. BOO YAA!!!

RE: c5 body upgrade kiy
 

in my opinion (i know everyone has one!) the c4 is the cleanest, finest vette since the split window. my first vette was a '67 convertible. when i started shopping this time (30+ years later) i looked at c3's, c4's & c5's.

Again, in my opinion, the c4 was the one!!

I have to agree with "notorious", why mess up a good c4... if you want a vette that looks like a c5, get a c5...

keep the wave and the dream alive

So Black86vette, did you do the CORRECT thing and get the hole fix?

Many people customize their vehicles with add ons. Most don't add value but when people try and sell them they want to recoup that money BUT it actually detracts from the value.

My 89 is approaching 19 years old, right now I just like keeping it stock with minor upgrades like a better exhaust when the original needs replacing, more current material when originals wear out. I laugh when I see a tricked out or pimped out C4 that runs like sh*t.

RE: c5 body upgrade kiy
 

My 86 can kick a LT1s ass. Yea, I trick mine out but right now its running pretty damn strong. I do not care what I get for it because I am keeping it for a long time. Im making it nice for me. If someone dont like it, dont buy it. Im not expecting to get my moneys worth out of it. Ive already spend over 7,000 dollars in repairs and modifactions both horsepower wise and looks. Not anything big under the hood but my old L-98 will give the new GTs a asslicking. Nope, holes still there. I was qouted at 2500 for it to get fixed. I will wait a lil bit longer until I do some more mods that I like.

Just to name a few of my smallermods: intake has been upgraded FULLY, upgraded exaust, timing is at 6* Relocate maf sensor, underdrive pullys,...hmm wonder what else is under there with a teenage driver...All tune up parts are upgraded as I go along.[8D]

Now I am going straight for cosmetics but the hood is definatley close on the agenda. I am hoping to get some headers put on and then a professional dyno tune. This guy can get 20 ponies out of a completly stock motor. Anyone wants to race, I'm ready to wax your car once I get the tune and headers on hehe. As for my interior, its nice and unique. Exterior is too. .[sm=nxsmile.gif]

Plus lots of repairs along with a new cooling system which the radiator is upgraded from the p.o.s. factory and same with the waterpump.

In case you didnt, the new GTs have 300 ponies. Dang, my old car can beat them? gosh. Stoplight to stoplight I whipped 3 of there asses over the course since I had these mods on. So [:'(][:'(][:'(]to them. Yea, I bet they feel stupid getting beat my a old piece of crap huh.

If your car smokes, get the patch.

It's an add-on, not a repair. Right up your alley.

Really? I know people running very solid 12s with only good traction, optimized gearing and of course excellent driving abilities. Are you telling us that your '86 can deal with that? Or even with a decent average LT1 running 13.30-40s? We'll want to see time slips.

RE: c5 body upgrade kiy
 

Never said a "modded" one. I will kick ur cars ass because you cant drive WORTH A DAMN. My car stock would blow your doors off.:D

RE: c5 body upgrade kiy
 

I take that back. Right now my car can't do nummin. If your L-T1 is SOOO bad, then put down your pink. You and cwb live in the same state. Go all out gentleman. Two L-T1s I get? DANG! My luck is good. "heavily" modified L-T1? Sorry but rims dont count. I know none of my mods are off the chart but its better than nothing. If my car would stop breaking for unanimous reasons........Hmm.......................... It only breaks when I say it's running good. Im still waiting for a race date? Id like to get this on video. Later....:)I want it at night so my "blue" neons will look good on the camera.:D:D:D

RE: c5 body upgrade kiy
 

As always Black86vette, you amuse me.... If you're ever in NC and see a dark LT1 coupe with a roll bar and black wheels, you'd be well advised to tread lightly. All throttle, no bottle.... ;)

RE: c5 body upgrade kiy
 

Ahh as always Na-Snorious.[sm=sleeping.gif], you make no sense. I LIVE IN NORTH CAROLINA. DUH!!![sm=icon_rofl.gif]You openly new that. Ok. I got chrome rims, So what. Don't count...roll bar? adds more weight...haha.....[sm=gears.gif]Buzz right by you....

I openly "new" that? Gosh, I can't believe I could forget such an important and relevant fact. Now I'll be living in fear daily that I might run up against your awesome car. What, you've got the airfoil and everything, right?[sm=helpout.gif][sm=yikesomg.gif] We're not worthy, we're not worthy......[sm=hail.gif] [sm=loser.gif]
