Default Wide Body Kits

I Was Looking At A Few Of The WideBody Kits For The C5s And I Think They Look Really Good. I Want My Dad To Get One On His Vette. Does Anyone Here Have One And If So Can You Post Any Pics?









Thanks

All I can say is WOW!

My favorites are the Mag red and the Yellow ones, with the nod going to the Yellow one.

Must sure be nice to be able to afford doing something neat like that.

And the wheels....did you see the wheels on those things?

That German kit (red vette) is Extreme-corvette.com

You have to get new wheels/tires too as the wide body is really wide. Adds about 14 inches to the width of the car. Most of the body panels get replaced. Only keep the hood and trunk.

For convertibles and coupes I believe. Best looking one I've come across.
