Overall I like it, but this is pure race mode. For the street this would be overkill. Although the molds are already in the production process, I will be taking some measurements to give to Pete to see what is the max the front can accommodate yet still match the 2 inch rears. I have forgestar CF5,'s in the front, but also have oem c6z that stick out about an inch, and also oem c5z rears. hopefully this will give a decent baseline.

I'm hoping to have an update later today. I told them to go once inch wide, we can decide if we want them wider after that's done and we can see them.

These are for a c5. If you want a wide body for your c6 why not just go buy a grand sport, Z06, or Zr1 kit?

Anyone in the Oxnard area willing to help? We need a C5 for 2 days so we can test fit and make sure gaps are correct etc. I'd be willing to hook someone up on a set.

Not yet, but need to find one fast lol. Once we get these test fit they can officially finish the molds and start getting these out.

Too bad there arent any manufacturers in Tampa Bay. I'd loan them my car for development purposes. Willing to take one for the team.

I'd help out as well... if I didn't live in Canada. Looking forward to seeing what this new product looks like after the test fit.

Found someone who could bring their car in, thanks guys! I'm hoping the mold will be done in the next few days. Taking longer than I was promised, but I guess it's always like that. Getting much closer...

Wow, nice! Hard to tell them apart from OEM. You almost need a side by side.

Hard to tell because it is oem...the flare hasn't been added yet lol. I had asked them for an update and they just told me they had it on a jig and it was ready to start the flare. As soon as I get those pics I will add them

LOL awesome... I win for the stupidest comment of the day, or week... regardless, I think it's great that you're still creating new parts for our aging platform. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
