BTW - Based on what the cost of molds and production are, it looks like the conversion will be under $3000. And of course there will be a pre-order group discount as soon as I'm getting ramped up. Trust me it will be one of your favorite mods to your C6 if you've already got tons of time and work into your car and don't want to sell it to get a C7.

The reaction over the last week of driving it has been as crazy as driving an exotic Supercar. People constantly stopping and asking what model and year it is. Some think it's a 2016 that went to the round tail lights because of high demand lol

I know the answer to these questions is probably yes, but i just wanted to verify.

We need the following in addition to your kit:
C7 headlight assemblies
If narrow body, all the accessories to mount the wide-body fenders and bumper

So it looks like I've got the harness plugs handled - if not they will be soon. I'll probably pull the car apart next week and get the molds done. I'll be out of town this week on other business. I will say that I think I enjoy driving the C6 conversion over the new C7Z for the amount of attention it gets. People are snapping their necks to see the C6 pass them. They still check out the C7Z when I drive it, but I guess it's the unique look of these headlights on the C6. Actually had two cute (while maybe clueless - but still cute) girls ask me if it was a Ferrari yesterday at the beach LOL

Will post more information and detailed pictures as soon as I have the molds done. Trust me the parts will be excellent quality and fit.

Pre-ordering with a discount will be offered as soon as everything is set, probably within the month with a 30 day ship target. Those of you who know me over the last decade as a forum vendor know that I don't like to wait - and I don't like to make my customers wait either!

There's no need. The fit is excellent. I've driven the car through two torrential downpours (FL weather....!) over the last week and it affected nothing. The factory C6 headlight has a rubber ring around it but it's not a 'seal' but more of a gap filler. The fit is so exact right now you have enough room to fit the headlight without rubbing the paint but no gasket would fit. I could open up the hole for the headlight housing but it wouldn't look as good to make a bigger gap.

Default C7 Headlights on My C6 Coupe- Yeah!!!!!!

Man, if you mold a fender for a C6 (Hopefully one can be made for a standard C6 as well as GS & Z06) with C7 headlights?- plan on being busy as I think it would become very popular... Great idea

Been driving the heck out of the car and it gets insane attention from Vette owners and non-owners alike. Have a car I'm wrapping up and then the molds will be pulled for kit production. It's coming probably just after SEMA. Price will be very reasonable and already have 3 customers committed with deposits.

I wouldn't mind being the next one to commit. I have a zr1 body so can you pm me the price and what will be involved?
I'm assuming I will be selling my zr1 fenders and replacing with yours, is this correct? Will the zr1 front bumper work?
