Default Wide body conversion?

I love the look of the Z06 with the way the front bumper looks to the way the side panels are, and i also love the removable top on the regular C6. What im trying to get at is it possible to get the whole conversion on a regular C6? and does anyone know how much it would cost?

I bought the car "as is" from a performance shop owner in January to replace my C5 I sold last July, and to answer your question, no I do not tell people it is a Z06 because it isn't a Z06...it is a "clone" with 510HP, front and rear Z06 rims/tires, front & rear Z06 rotors & calipers...my CTS-V has the C5 Z06 LS6 in it though so "technically" I do own a Z06.....have a nice day

Actually, technically you do not own a Z06 because technically your car's VIN does not state that and technically your car's entire frame is different, technically.

Nah, it's not that (well, not for me). I just used to laugh at all the "real" SS 496 Chevelles I would run into at local car meets. I see this as just a changing of the guard.

You are in need of some meds as apparently you have issues that scream for their use.....I noted a pattern of put downs, anger, and sarcastic confrontation in the majority of your post on this forum....but since you have no sense of humor or the ability to read between the lines I will make this simple for you...(like children using crayons)...I own a C6 that has all the beautiful looks of a "REAL" (oh my) Z06 AND I own a CTS-V WITH an LS6 400 HP engine in it (refer to C5 Z06 specs if you must) so as far as I am concerned, I do "technically" own a Z06 (regardless of what you believe in your angry in need of meds little mind)....to lay it out for you I own a C6 Z06 "Clone" and a C5 LS6 Z06 engine in my CTS-V that will give any stock C5 a run for it's money...so lets see C6 + LS6= Z06 .........I also own a Seadoo jet boat that I plan on putting a Malibu emblem on the side along with a Z06 emblem as I KNOW it will ANGER ONLY YOU
