Hey, that looks like the widebody Corvette I read about in Corvette Magazine a couple months ago. That's definitely a fat **** on that car! I really do like the look. The kit wasn't cheap if I remember.

Kinda looks like an old cobra from that pic.

It is the same kit in the magazine We are doing the car for a forum member. Kit is made in Germany they say this is the 2nd kit on a car in the US the rest are in Germany . The Kit is the worst quality parts we ever worked with but after a couple of hundred hours we coaxed them to fit on the car . You can check out the whole build at www.thcorvetteshop.com

The job you did looks awesome. 
I considered this body kit but did not like the way the rear fenders came around the tires, leaving to much exposure of the rear quarter panel to be blasted by the road debris thrown off by the huge rear wheels.

You did a helluva good job with the install. Looks very clean from the picture. It's funny, really. Part of me thinks it looks great and another part thinks it looks cartoonish with those huge bulges. I like it better in blue than the orangeish color from the magazine. The deep dish wheel look really sells the whole package. A shame it was such a PITA to get fit correctly considering the cost of the kit. Good job, nonetheless!

We Like the look and after about 50 sprayouts of every blue you can think of this 1 was the winner
