Default The offical C6 custom thread!

If you have a widebody, wide booty custom fenders or something different that's not factory...Post here! Now I know my car is not a Z06, but it's not a factory production car "anymore" either. I know there are many people that call my car a poser or whatever, but I just call it a custom C6! I'm sure there are some that will post negetive remarks, but I would like to see what others have done to make their car different! I have seen some very good custom vettes and some "not so good" custom vettes, but if you pay for it, it's your choice! So please, show me what you have!

I love the wide body kits. I would like to have more info on where to buy quality rear fenders and the necessary materials to make mine a wide body. I have access to having them painted for free. I also plan on adding 2" of width to my stock rear rims. I have seen another post http://www.myvettesite.com/files/widebodyguide.pdf that got me very interested. Maybe because my C6 is also atomic orange. Any links to suppliers/vendors. If not site vendors please send me a PM with info. Thanks.

You can purchase complete front or rear widebody (Z06) kits from Gene Culley at www.gmpartshouse.com. Stay with all GM parts. Everything just bolts right on and everything you need will be included.

Guess I only have 1/2 of a custom since I have only done the rear and NOT YET installed the front widebody! Unless I can count the underhood area for the front!
