Personally all that was needed was to swap out the wheels and taillamps. Honestly if you would have added about 500 rwhp to that look few people would ever call it rice especially after they got their asses handed to them!

The new look IS nice though.

Eh, I disagree, but I see where you're coming from. But even if it would have that kind of power, would hate the looks. Just opinion of course.
And thanks!

Agreed lol. But funny part was it did feel slightly more planted around bends around 70mph+. But would look bad doing it lol.

You could add 2000 horsepower and that wing and side graphics would still be rice as ****. OP did a good job saving the car.

But I do want your wheels, if only they were 18's. but makes sense because I think C5z's had staggered 17x9.5 / 18x10.5, I believe. So now I know how you got those. Lol either way wish I had your wheels.

Thanks dude! And I won't lie, I was skeptical about these wheels, thought they'd look bad lol, ended up being 100% satisfied with them.
