I remember you talking about how good the fitment was from Don at SS-Vette.

The guy doing the work told me he took the whole body off in about 6.5 hours, now putting it back together after painting is a different story.

The fog lights are the same in Z or base, its the hole in the bumper that is different for them. So to answer your question, if you do a widebody your lights and fog lights transfer over the same.

Did you go real carbon or hydro on the headlights? I think I finally found a shop that can actually build the carbon bezels after all this time.
Car looks great! Will you be at the bash this year or Vettes on the Beach?
