That is actually a nice kit for $900. Too bad it is in New York

This kit would really set a C4 off. Very tasteful body mods. You would be the envy of all your C4 friends(until they find out its not real)

Id have to wonder if that is the real item or a copy, cause as far as i know, the Callaway bumpers were not fibreglass. If i paid $6,990 or what ever they are for a new set and found out they are only fibreglass, id feel VERY ripped off.

Id buy that one for that price though if i could get it to Australia.

Looks like a pretty good price - I'd love to put it on my 89. Looking at the front bumper where the work was done, it looks more like an epoxy than a fiberglass repair - anyone else have an idea?

the tail lights are stock GM.

I thought it was fibreglass? Carbon Fibre came later.

It looks like a great deal, all in all. The kit was not exclusive to Callaway cars, either. You could order the kit without ordering a Callaway engine or B2K.

Its not so much the tail lights, its the lenses, cause they are missing. Wouldnt matter to me anyway, cause i need one side amber and one red on each lens.

I was lead to believe the pieces were carbon kevlar.

Jeff, he said the tail lights, NOT the lenses, and he is correct, the tail lights themselves are stock GM units.

What a rip off if they are, that is an absolute rort. What makes them so special that they are worth that much? They are plastic for christ sake. The normal red lens would be of no use to me.

Hard to say, but ive seen a Callaway back end with amber on one half and red on the other, in order to copy it here it would be best to have a real one to start from.

There is another way around it, and that is to do what GM did for the Japan Export models from 91 on, and use 2 more 3rd brake lights, 1 under each pair of reds at the sides.

The missing front one is no big deal, cause the one on the other side is still there, so it can be used and a mirror image of it made.

Hey Case ,

I just did a mapquest and Its " 321 mi – about 5 hours 47 mins" away from me one way. If you can't find any-one closer and think it will all fit in the back of my F150 ( 6ft bed ) in one trip , I would be willing to help you out. The truck gets about 300 ( just under ) per tank.
Just let me know ,

Thanks mate, so far youre the best option, and id say it would fit in the F150, if you could fit both the front and rear bumpers, lower door halfs and the sill panels off your Corvette in the back, these pieces should also fit no problem, they are pretty close to the same size as stock parts. The sils would be about 60 inches in length id say, bumpers would be about 28-30"x66-68" at a guess.

Ive emailed MAXX WRENCH to see what he can come up with.

Thanks very much for your offer!!
