Widebody Conversion?
#21
16 Vettes and counting…..
Beautiful....and your car will look even better when the front is done. my '07 silver coupe will be here in couple of months, and I plan on doing the full widebody as well, followed by some custom wheels and a
Lingenfelter massage.
Any problems matching the silver paint? Looks great from the photos.

This is such an easy mod. It takes 20 minutes to take the quarter panel off. Hoffie and I did them together. He did 1 side, while I did the other. We had the car done in a hour and 20 minutes. That also includes the new brake duct, inner fenders and Z06 splash guards.

THANKS FOR ALL THE ADVICE GUYS!
SHOULD HAVE THE REAR CONVERSION DONE WITHIN 3 WEEKS.
STILL HAVE TO DECIDE ON RIMS AND ALSO NOT TO SURE IF I SHOULD GO WITH WIDER RIMS ON THE FRONT JUST INCASE I DO THE FRONT CONVERSION IN THE FUTURE. WOULD IT BE LIVABLE TO HAVE THE FRONT ZO6 SIZE WHEELS IF I DIDNT DO THE FRONT CONVERSION?
I WOULD IMAGINE EVERY LITTLE PUDDLE WOULD MAKE A MESS ALONG THE SIDE OF THE CAR. ALSO ORDERED THE GM RACING STYLE WING NOT TO SURE ABOUT IT BUT I THINK IT WILL BE OK. IF ANY BODY IN THE FORUM IS FROM CANADA AND INTERESTED IN DOING THE WIDEBODY I ENDED UP BUYING THE REAR CONVERSION PIECES FROM THE LOCAL DEALER AND IT RAN ME $1370. CANADIAN FOR THE COMPLETE RR CONVERSION.(WHICH IS ABOUT $1122 U.S.) NOT BAD

[QUOTE=Drumhawk;1558796825]Where abouts in Canada are you? I have a scratched rear panel and it sounds worthwhile to do the wide-body kit instead of repair or replacing the stock rear panel, do the wide-body kits come painted?[/QUOTE
HEY THERE!
I AM LOCATED IN EDMONTON
AS FOR THE PANELS THEY DO NOT COME PAINTED. I WOULD IMAGINE PAINT WOULD COST AROUND 400 TO 600 DOLLARS.

doing just the rears is a hell of alot cheaper that the fronts, i just cant justify 2-3k for the front plus another 1-2k for paint and install.
so 3-5k and the z06 front looks so similar to the c6 front, ya fenders lil wider and small hole in the nose,(but i do love the z front) maybe i need to put in some OT and do the front. lol but if i was gonna spend 3-5k, it would be cam heads or supacharger or lambo green paint lol

Hey Just Wondering If Anybody Is Making A 5 Spoke C6 Replica Wheel 12inches Wide? Sure Would Be Nice If I Could Match The Factory Wheels And Then I Would Just Have To Get Rear Wheels And Tires. I Think It Would Be Cool To Keep The Stock C6 Comp Grey Wheels And Have Them Fill Out The Rear Wide-body Convers.if Any Body Knows Of Anything Out There Like So That Would Be Great. Maybe If Possible Is There Somebody That Can Widen The Factory Wheels.(that Would Probably Be Difficult Because You Would Have To Add To The Outside Lip)
