Default Question: What body kit is this?

Hi guys,

I just loved the look of this corvette so much that I had to know what it was that's done to it. Being in Michigan, we see tons of exotic kits on all types of cars, but this one was done up pretty good. The stance was uber sexy, flared fenders... heard the exhaust on this car is just friggen awesome, too.

So anyway -- anyone have any info on what (appearance wise) is done to this Vette? Anyone recognize it as someone they know or maybe even their own?




Note: I didn't see this car first hand, was someone else on a site I run that saw it and snapped the pics... liked the looks of it so much I just had to find out more info on this car.

Thank you guys! I searched for corvette body kit and wide body kits on google but I wasn't finding much success -- knew a site as large as this would have someone that would know.

Is this the car......



Just went on a cruise with Frank the other week, his forum name is " ontariovette " . Give him a PM, I'm sure he will be happy to fill you in on the body kit.

I think.... http://www.vetteessentials.com/ ...may still carry the Tigershark front and rear fascias.

Great looking car, by the way.

I'll shoot him a PM out of curiosity, the person who spotted the three corvettes cruising together lives in the Saginaw area of Michigan.

There was mention that the rear wheels had a deep dish. Does Mike hang out in MI a lot?

Here's two Franks for the price of one in front of friend Mo's house.

Side shot shows Specter Werks rear brake duct which I like.


Bunch of Vette boys were at local Sunoco gas bar featuring Ron Fellows. Frank is in the white shirt, and shades!

The above pic must have been on Sunday morning when the boys took a run up to the Best Buy in Saginaw. Thats me in front, "Justakar" in the black Z06 and the Monstermobile in the back (the guys felt sorry for me being the slowest of the 3 so they let me lead )

...and yes, the 3rd car is OntarioVette's car....pics don't do it justice and for anyone wondering...yes, its "bite" can back up its "bark"
