Most people that have done aftermarket parts said if they would do again would of paid the extra for oem z06 or zr1 fenders. I put oem zr1 fenders on my z06 and still took some fitting time, I could only imagine aftermarket. I also have my black z06 front fevers for sale if your looking. Im in pa

I got my zr1 widebody kit from corvette recyclers, hands down perfect fitment!
talk to Colten he will hook you up! and the best part about it is that the body panels are all oem from GM. With aftermarket panels the fitment will not be perfect

Widebody
Full widebody completed on my 2008 convertible. I bought the OEM widebody kit front and rear from Jim Butler Chevrolet in St. Louis. The kits can be found on eBay and are OEM complete to the last nut and bolt. I then consulted a couple local shops and found the my local Chevrolet dealer to be very competitive. Maroone Chevrolet of Greenacres, FL did the install and paint. Fit and finish on the parts was great as they were OEM. I added an OEM ZR1 spoiler, ZO6 brakes/rotors and factory GM wheels from Bob at House of Wheels. He is great and has a tremendous selection. I added some interior touches to close it out from GMPartsHouse.com. Finally, I added the front splitter and side skirts from Greg at GS Creations. Again being local, he did the install and it turned out awesome.
Horsepower Sales down here in Ft. Lauderdale did the tune, intake, LG longtube headers and my exhaust.
This car looks amazing, sounds awesome and goes like hell. Good luck with your build! Feel free to message me if you have questions!

Otherwise, you will have a bodyman spend hours hand fitting body panels before primer/paint.

Check out http://www.supervettes.com/ I've seen some of their cars at local shows and they look great.
