Very nice, but I'd lose the name on the back, just my opinion.

I think it looks very nice, and I think it's too expensive.

Are you bored today?

Would the front end parts work without the flared rocker panels? I.E. could you do just the front without the back? Or do those fenders end high so the rockers can pass beneath?

I think that would look good, the front end done that way with some subtle flared rear fenders and maybe some OEM C6Z rear fender guards added on.

Then again... those HUGE rear fender openings would make great air intakes for a rear mounted turbo setup!

It's an awesome piece of machinery. Would have like to seen a molded in rear spoiler simular to that of the tiger shark kit.

The fronts tie in to the flared area beneith the doors, but looking at it, it just may work. If you give Caravaggio a call, I'm sure you can get the 'skinny' on it.

And yes, the rear opening are available for custom cooling, like tranny cooler, turbo etc.

Caravaggio hi-rise made of composite fiber.
He has a few different ones, including one that clears a Maggie.

Caravaggio is making custom widened rear fenders that are 2" wider than stock, and a Caravaggio rear skirt that looks something like the Tiger Shark with it's built in lip. They should be done in the next month or two. He was fabing up the molds last weekend.

Here's another shot that's one of my fav.



And thanks for all the kudo's guy's.
