Looks tough. One thing the C5 really needed, in my opinion, was more exaggerated lines. That hood will do the trick.

i was actually really impressed with it. the thickness was very similar to the stock hood, it does feel flimsy at all when it's up or when you're closing it.

like i said before, the install we did was really quick and not at all in depth. the only issues i see are 1. it sits a little lower than the front bumper in the center and 2. it sits a little lower than the headlights.

keep in mind this is with me and my buddy holding it up while my gf bolted it in... no real adjustments whatsoever. i'll report back as soon as i see how the body shop did with it, i'm really expecting a stock-like fit
