Default Wide body ????????

I have noticed a couple of times on the forum, people mentioning having a wide body corvette. I have a 2002 coupe and sometimes think that it looks different than others. Are there two different body styles???? Never heard of this before. If there is a "wide body" what are the differences?? Thanks

All wide body parts are aftermarket. Usually it's just fenders, but there are a few kits out there that replace more than just fenders.

Otherwise all the cars are the same. Forum member ICULUKN-C5 has a widebody kit on his car.
