Second one. Don't like flared wheel wells or the bolt on rear spoiler on #1. #2 is more "stated elegance".

Both kits are made by ACP.

The first kit shown is the ACP Z11 and the second is the Wide body kit.

I personally like the first one and so I embarked on my current project. Here's a few pictures for you guys.

My car is in phase I of (3) phase facelift. Only the front is complete as I am converting my coupe to an FRC. Phase II will be the removal of maggie and auto tranny for a stick shift and normally aspirated motor and the removal of the interior for FRC conversion. Phase (3) will be the conversion to FRC and the completion of the rear panels and the car re-shot with NBM paint.

I had a custom rear clip done with integrated spoiler and the bottom flares molded in. The side pieces and rear are started but not complete due to the conversion to an FRC.

I'm picking up the car this Friday and will get some better pictures.

If you could lose the spoiler, I'd do #1.

1st one for me! Although the spoiler is a bit tall for my taste! IMHO

Looks real good on black too!

I think color will help you decide because perhaps the kit on the black Vette might not look good on the Silver one! Hummmm!

Thanks,Matt(Vote still on 1st)
