I measured my C5 coupe (with my wife's help, so I hope it is right)

stock 98 coupe

Front fender width at top of wheel arch - 73"

Mirrors extended width - 85"

Rear quarters width at top of wheel arch - 76"

Hope this helps

Wow, this is a cool site, I would like to find a site to custom paint a vette, I want a yellow with some kind of black detail, either hood stripe or hood to tail.
