Default ACI Spoiler....Yes or No???

Thinking about adding this, but don't think it'd be too friendly in Seattle. Do you like the look or nah???

And if you notice, those jump happen to be my new rims. Except those are 18s, I ordered 19s.

I think it looks sweet. Is there a rear lower spoiler to go along with it too?

Yeah, but I think suited w/ some nice side skirts it'd be fine.

I think a vette is one of the few cars it is hard to make look better with ground effects or spoilers. Example: Greenwood vette which I guess was OK in the 80's but looking at one now it looks gaudy while a clean stock C4 is timeless.

The only kits I've seen on C5's that I like are the Lingenfelter (which was $$$) or the Tigershark. The tigershark is pretty damn sweet. The ACI is OK but not sure if it worth the PITA of trying not to scrap it on ****.

Well, since I had to look at your pic to see what you were talkng about, I'd say 1 - it looks like it belongs, and 2 - it's not gawdy or overly noticeable as to be obnoxious.

I like the look of it, but wouldn't want it on my car...I'd be afraid of scraping the crap out of it or just ripping it off....so my vote is no

I'm not really diggin' it, sorry. Haven't seen a GFX type spoiler yet that looks like it "belongs" on a C5,,, or C4 for that matter.

I do, however, like the splitters on C5's fwiw....

Believe it or not I think that one is a copy of what LG motorsport designed.

It is a very functional item, not just for looks. But I would want to get the entire kit and just not the front lip. If I was to ever get a C5 car the kit would be one of my first mods.

Give Lou a call at LG, tell him Boyce told you to call and see what he could do on price for you.

I like it but I think you need the side skirts to make it look right. Bobby's right about the tiger shark though although I thought it was a Mako shark. Maybe there's both? I really like the wheels. Ok did some research. Tiger new school, Mako old school.

I think it looks like a cheap tacky add-on, but if you like it, pimp it.
