Fixed, you should see them all now

looks great, lines really well too, awesome job!

My guess is that most people would like to see how the fit is around the fenders, and you cannot tell that from these pictures. Seams are in the shadows or the detail is lost.
Closeups would be nice.

Any close-up shots of the area below and beside the headlamps?

Here's what most look like in that area after the install.

it looks good... real nice.

please, no one be offended here, but having owned quite few "high end" cars in my time, not vettes though... a Firehawk and a Comp T/A (one of 47 built in 1997).. why do you add a z06 hood, bumper, and etc to the C6? to me, its giving the impression that the car is a "poser". Again, no offense, Ive just not encountered this in a favorable attitude on other models...thats all. Just curious.

This is approximately what he's got in the way of panel alignment. I'm waiting for the ZR1 front panels to be produced b ACI. Hopefully soon!![IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

No offense taken. Everything I've done to my vehicle has been done to make it look the way I want it to, and maybe a little different from the rest. I am guessing that's why any of us mods our cars. None of us do it to be a poser. Whatever that means.

If you dont mind me asking, how much did this set you back?

I have been wanting to do this as well but am worried about how it will line up. I guess I will just have to wait until i do widebody.

And to wolfdog it isnt about trying to pose or make your car something it is not. The front bumper and widebody from the Z06 look much more aggressive and actually will help in the performance department as well with better cooling for the engine and you will also be able to add wider wheels and tires which will improve traction and handling. Plus it just looks great and its fun to modify your car.

Otherwise its like saying that Z06 guys that add TVS blowers are trying to pose as ZR1s or guys that put on Z06 or ZR1 wheels on their C6 are trying to pose as Z06s or ZR1s. I like many other people enjoy modifying my car but I also like my car to look clean and subtle. Plus I will have the good looks of a Z06 but be able to take my top off and have an automatic with paddles.

wolfdogs

gotcha. thanks.

wolfdogs

no problem. Im must trying to understand, thats all. See, in the old days, folks with Saleens, Firehawks, Comp T/A's ,etc.. got pretty upset about people buying the parts to make their cars look like something they are not... ie: poser. In fact, for a long time, if you owned and SLP engineering car: ie: Firehawk, Camaro SS (when slp built them) or Comp T/A (only 164 built over a 3 year period) you had to furnish prof of ownership, which was verified by SLP Engineering, before you could get replacement body parts, badges, etc...to keep down the "copy cats" if you will.

Engine mods are different, body mods is what it was all about in those days, panels, stripe kits, vents, etc.

again, I was just curious, thats all. My last vette was in 1978..we bought it new.. .so im new to the current trends.

Would love to get a Z06 front bumper too but it looks like some custom fitting might be required because the lines dont seem to match very well. Im pretty sure it can be done to where it looks 100%, but like i said, custom fitting.

will get some close up pics soon, but it will look like this

but because it is black, its harder to notice

BTW Thanks 6SPDRCR for posting these pics
