Trying to get this wide body thing figured out.

If you have a Z06, grandsport, or a ZR1 it is a widebody.

SuperVettes sells and extra-wide body kit, but generically all the C6 Z06, GS and ZR-1s and 427 Convertible are considered wide body. The Z06 and ZR1 have an aluminum frame and the GS and 427 Convertible have the steel frame.

GMPartshouse and others sell the GM panels to convert a normal C6 to a widebody.

Thanks. When you say all. You also mean the 06 Zo6.
Just making sure I have the entire scoup. As if I purchase 1. It most likely will be a 2006

The term 'wide body' started when the '06 Z06 was released into the market. The body is the same as a base Corvette but the front and rear fenders were flared on the '06 Z06 to make room for wider tires -- Thus the term Wide Body. That caused some base car owners to buy Z06 fenders and create their own wide body car. The Zr1 used wider tires and the Z06 flared fenders and when the general introduced the Gran Sport they used the same tire and fender setup.

The front bumper and spoiler are also wider for it to fit to the wider front quarters. I believe the front fenders on both the Z cars are carbon fiber. The hood of the ZR1 and the carbon edition Z06 are also carbon fiber.

Does the Grand Sport use the carbon fiber front Z06 fenders or are they a composite?
