I'm looking at doing widebody front and back on my 08 Vert. I read that the rear Z06 quarters have to be modified to fit properly. Anyone have info on this? Thanks

They need to be notched and there is a bracket that needs to be removed and put on the new panel. There are several threads on the forum here regarding how to do this. I would do a search and I'm sure you'll turn up something. The one I saw had pics and all.
