I like the variety. Everyone seems to be doing the same thing Z06, grand sport, or zr1 look alikes, but this changes things up a bit.
I was concerned on the look on a vert, but looks great! Would love to start seeing in different colors on a vert. I did see the Atomic Orange coupe on the website. I liked it also.
Keep up the great work!

We are finishing a 2006 Twin Turbo Lemans Blue Convertible with the 1.5" quarters all around within the next couple of weeks... also a Cyber Grey 2009 ZR1 and a Cyber Gray 2009 Z06 (which is getting the wider rears, bright orange racing stripes / matching bright orange ZR1 Brake Calipers)

Keep the pics coming! Would consider this conversion, but not for now as the driveways and streets here in Charlotte would tear up that lip. I keep telling the wife we need to move back to W. Palm, just need to get my company to relocate me back there. I hate going out EVERY DRIVEWAY at a 45 degree angle!

However, we do have a Lemans Blue 2007 Twin Turbo Convertible being converted as we speak. Will post pics when she's all done!

If Im understanding your question correctly, your asking if our Extreme ZR6X front fenders, (which are 1.5" wider on each side), would look bad with the OEM Z06 rear fenders? If so, then yes, it will look terribly unbalanced IMO... as well, your track would be wider in the front then the rear... no good...

Their are certainly some in the Corvette community who believe more is better be it width of body, size of wheels, lowness to ground, fimness of ride, etc., etc.; kind of a cartoon of the real thing. To each his own.

I have a few questions.
...Could wider wheels/tires be put on so as to not use spacers and make tire wider.
...Is there any danger of the tire hitting the rear fender under extreme suspension movements?
One more...
Is this one of those modifications that looks better in person than in pictures? Some cars, like the new Nissan Maxima for example look much better to me in person than in pics. Just wondering if this doesn't photo as good as it "in persons"
Thanks,
TomZ

Thanks. Yup, to me these look great but I also agree that not everyone would like them.

I like it. It looks really aggressive!
I have a few questions.
...Could wider wheels/tires be put on so as to not use spacers and make tire wider.
>> You can use 20x10.5" up front and 20x13" in the back with no issues at all. (just better grip / traction) Stock Z06 or ZR1 size wheels with 1.5" adapters sit exactly the same as the OEM wheels under the OEM fenders/quarters. (they will sit about 3/8-1/2" ticked inside the fender well) - we use 1.75" adapters for a more aggressive stance, and we keep enough space between the tire and the wheel well to avoid any rubbing issues.
If you choose to build a set of custom forged wheels, we can build then with low-to-negative offsets so no adapters are needed.
• 1PC Forged = no adapters
• 3PC Forged = no adapters (bigger lips... If a Z06/GS normally gets a 4" lip in the rear, you can now use a 5.5" lip / lower offset)
• 3PC Concave Forged = Adapters only in back to keep the "flush" look
• OEM / Reproductions / - uses adapters - 1.5" to 1.75" depending on taste...
...Is there any danger of the tire hitting the rear fender under extreme suspension movements?

>> ABSOLUTELY!! - there are a few forum members that got a chance to see it in person... It's a night and day difference. Think of it this way... In pictures, the C6 Base coupe and a Z06 / ZR1/ GS don't really look "that" much different, aside from the different vent variations... however, in person, it's a whole different car! On the highway... It's even more noticeable. 3" makes a huge difference!! -- ("that's what she said")
