Default ZR-1 Body difference?

Hey guys I was just curious if there were any differences in the rear bumper and side skirts of the ZR-1's? I thought ive read that they were 3 inches wider but i didnt know if there was a difference in designs? I was lookin in a past issue of Hot Rod magazine and saw the red ZR1 that ran 191 in the Texas Mile competition and for some reason I thought it looked a little different in the rear and side skirts. Please tell me if its just me!

Yes the whole car is wider in the rear - completely different rear bumper and body panels from standard c4's help accomodate the wider track and tires on the rear of the car. When the put the big ol tires on the Grand Sports they cut corners and just threw on the fender flares.
