The front scoop will need to flow with the line of the hood where most people put the hood seal ... The front scoop looks too straight right now ...
Man oh man ... C6 owners will start making fun of y'all
Most of y'all always making fun of C4 with C5 body kits
Anyway, I kinda like the front nose for my intercooler
***BTW, with your talent, why don't start with some brand new body part instead of copy C6 looks?

- Any plans for this in the future? A C6Z like, rear widebody for the C5 would look nice!

Fair comment but they have to catch me first before they can make fun of me and haven't had a stock C6 or Stock Z06 do that yet From my point of view, Pete has captured the only nice thing about a C6...the front end...they can keep the rest of the car

Lol thanks guys. We can make flared rear fenders, but there are already quite a few out there which is why we havent.
As for making parts that look C6ish, well I have heard many time where people like the look which is why we did it. Still has some C5 to it so not qute exactly the same

As for the wing it will mount on a stock C5 bumper, as you can see that is an OEM bumper, but we molded the bottom part of the C6 onto it. I believe we are just going to use double sided tape. I know some people dont like that idea, but it works very well and no drilling involved.

The more options the better, and from what I've seen, your option will look great!Seriously though, if you can make a factory looking widebody rear fender, whether is looks C6'ish or not I'd grab one for sure. My only concern is that other existing spoilers, such as the Caravaggio spoiler, will still fit the fenders.

How's about something like this?
http://www.caravaggiocorvettes.com/dev2007/g2_i6.html
If you can reproduce these for $5K - $6K which is double what you are selling these c6dish kit, I bet a bunch of current L5 flare customers would get these
BTW, stock size front nose like that would be killer as well.

BTW, it cost more to produce the widebody kits because besides the four fenders, you also need the front and rear fascia's along with rocker panel alterations to make everything blend in well.
You also need inner fender extensions and modifications to the existing inner fender wells.
I didn't like the Caravaggio Widebody kit as much as the ACP Wide Body kit because of the large rear fender side brake ducts and lack of rear spoiler.
Here's a few picture of what the ACP Widebody kit looks like on my car.
. Good job guys

The inner fenders have to be modified.
Stock Size
Modified
Front View - New front pieces have to be installed too, so that front fender can be secured.

I was looking for a widebody fender, not widebody kit. And I like everything about that Caravaggio car posted EXCEPT the rear fender, they dont look factory at all!
