I have a painter here and can have the parts painted before installation, but was wondering roughly how much you'd charge to do the install, assuming you had to travel here. 18507 is the zip

it's cthusker's car, he may have an after pic

I'd really like to see someone with the Cianci panels, the price on those would be closer to 1400 installed

for sure, give me a call if you have any questions during the swap

I'm thinking of running the Cianci panels with an OEM Z06 front cover

Steve,
On the rear wide body kits that you've installed, have only the wide body rear quarters been painted or is some paint blending done once the panels are installed? I have a VY vert, want to install the wide body, and wondering if paint will match up well if I only paint the new panels? Thanks

Can I do it? YES, I just upgrade a 2011 GrandSport to the 'optional' scripted seats..............I have not personally upgraded the 2012 seats yet, but I'm sure I can use my resources to get the project complete

I'm not a painter, it's best to consult with your local specialist, I can walk you through the installation very easily..........I've heard the VY is a tough match..........but it's all in finding the correct trigger man(painting)

There is a very SMALL market here in the NE for widebody conversions.

I will help those in need, I do not stock/sell the panels or paint, but can put you in contact with those that are capable here in the NE

If I were to get a painted pair of rear quarters off a Z06, what else would I need to purchase? I thought you needed inner fenders as well? Anything else?
