Default Wide body kit

For those who like to make their vette wider, look at the following site http://www.us-importe.com
If there are questions because the page is in german, just ask, IŽll answer.
I never saw one of these on the street, just found it while surfing in the net.

NoMercy, you might as well get this since you already have 100+k in that awesome vette as it is. They have 335's on 13 inch rims in the rear! :cheers:

Here are some pics...






Can someone please convert the german marks to US dollars...

We sell complete Kits or complete cars -ready to go -
starts at DM 99.000

Hell, I can't read German but that sounds HIGH!

1 US Dollar is 2.20 Deutschmark.
So the 99.000 DM are equal to 45.000 Dollars

Are you sure about this conversion? That's a ridiculous price just for some body parts? That's even rediculous for an installed price.

It definitely re-defines the "big butt" term which has been applied to the C5's rear. I do kind of like the exaggerated proportions...no need to "tub" there.

Oh hell yes!!! :D That would solve my tire problems for sure!! But this thing has gone on long enough. Caravaggio is supposed to be working on a set of widened rear 1/4 panels though. :D
