Did two tours over there. Lived in Chesapeake and downtown Virginia Beach in the Mayflower apartment. If I get stationed there again ill reach out. Had a C7 Grand Sport and sold it for orders to Guam where im currently at. Now after seeing your channel I am very interested in the C5.
How is the front splitter holding up? Looking at the carbon versions but the prices are a bit silly considering it will inevitably be subjected to wear and tear! The splitter you have looks similar in design and with a carbon wrap would achieve the same result for a fraction of the cost.
How has it held up? ABS seems to be brittle and fall apart the first thing it hits. Not sure if that’s the case but I really dig the looks of it just not the durability
Any updates on the splitter? (Cooling issues, etc) I ask because it’s been in the 90’s and I’m running at 205 in some stop and go traffic with about a 4 mile straight shot at 60 mph.
Oh this was right when I finished the garage & was about to pull the trigger on a lift. The wife and I decided to build a new house with a huge garage instead. That's what we did. New house will be done in 4 weeks. 4 post lift going in ASAP.
@VetOnVettes awesome. We have a 2post in the farm shop, just bought myself an 04 z06 a few weeks ago and had it up on there for my pre-storage fluid changes.
Call me weird but I still think a nicely done C5 or C6 looks better than a C7 or C8
Your C5 is looking mean with the front splitter. Matches the C8 in aggressiveness 👌🏼

Ive always gone back and forth on whether I like the front splitter on a C5. I think it looks pretty good though!
Those headlights look amazing!
Looks great I'll be very interested to know how it does this summer. Being local here to you if it works out good I may put one on mine.
I got the same one and I love it
I've been debating getting one of these
Well worth it imo

Your link lists the price as $3,310, not $170.
Looks great 👍
Just a question, does your Z06 have the fog light shroud behind the mesh grille or is it just an open hole?
Where did you bought it from it’s cool on your C5 I’m looking for one for my C5 Z06
Link in the description of the video 👍🤙

It's been rainy & cool the last 2 weeks here in Virginia. I'm trying to get out this weekend to put some stress on it. I'll definitely report back.
want to buy this but its priced at 3309$ nice!
Where did you buy the splitter from? What company?
How did it do coming off the wood ramps??
I definitely filmed that part, but that clip got messed up in post. It did great 👍 no scraping.
if you use the link you provided the price is currently listed $3,309.98 , I am assuming you did not spend 3k on that part lol
Have you had any overheating issues since you have been driving it alittle more?
None yet. Stays right @ 198-199 degrees. I'm going to do more of a stress test next week.
@@VetOnVettes I think I’m going to order one for mine, what temp thermostat do you have?
Did you use the hardware they gave you or use your own hardware? I ordered the same one but only came with the tape
Mine came with screws and tape. They short changed you unfortunately. See if they can send you the hardware.
@@VetOnVettes what kind of screws are they? Trying to contact them but they are not getting back to me
@@dreamzv1 they are a self tapping for plastic. 7mm heads. Black. Roughly 1" long. Thats from memory
What are the deminsions on ur ramps?
10.5" x 8'
@@VetOnVettes are those 1x10? How far is each step
New c8.. terrible wood service ramps??

What headlamps are you running??
Knight drive TV lights
How does it hold up over 150+?
I'm doing a 180+ run this weekend. Will report back.
@@VetOnVettes Awesome, let me know for sure!
@@VetOnVettesany updates?
@@BJnCars ditto
Any updates ?
Looks good
I want a splitter and I scrape now damit
Price jumped up to $310 unfortunately.
Way too expensive. But good info
These things have skyrocketed in price since I made this video. I have no idea why.
