If I had a garage to do it in and spare rear pieces, I'd fiberglass up a prototype "C5", or whatever you'd like to call it, rear-end. I might actually make that a project now. Just have to find a place to do it. How much do you think someone would pay for that? Would it be a fairly marketable item for the FD also?

I just might start looking into that sooner then I thought
I've only had minor fiberglass experience though, never anything as big as that, but it'd definitely be a unique look, for a little while, until I marketed it across the US

Good luck guys, but, sopme people may want a bumper, not just some fiberglass stuck on the baclk. Personally, I don't want my entire car smacked up by a 5mph rear-end job.

Have you smacked the rear bumper on anything going 5mph? It leaves a nasty mark . I haven't done it to mine yet, knock on wood, but soemtimes that's the price you pay when you customize your car. You can't always have everything, you sacrifice longevity for power in the motor, so durability has to go for the looks of a body kit or part. It's all like the ying-yang of the automotive industry, ha ha...
