Finally!!! This is the conversion I've been waiting for, with the wide body fenders I've been wanting to upgrade to.
Loving what I'm seeing so far and looking forward to you finishing it up. Like others I too would be interested in this if you mold them.
Cheers bud!

I think you've done a good job, and I don't want to knock your hard work, but personally, I'm not a fan. I like my headlights as they are and I have zero desire to try to make my car look like something it isn't, namely a C7. I'm happy that I own a C6 and don't want it to try to pretend to be something else.

But, then, I have chrome wheels and that must make me an old man. I just don't understand the aftermarket body kits that turn your C6 into a C1 or the transplantation of later model lighting or the painting of perfectly beautiful chrome wheels with semi-gloss black. While it is occasionally an expression of great craftsmanship (with the exception of the black wheels), it sort of ruins a really beautiful design.

Just like mine is a custom widebody, I made mine into what I wanted it to look like.

Now, if someone could just make a replacement C6 hatch that ditches the bubble rear window for a nice, C3 68-77 flying buttress look*, I would have no reason to buy a C7. The headlights and hatch are really the only visuals from the C7 that I really like over the C6.
(*let's not even talk about those stick-on plates that someone made for the C6's rear window. Not integrated at all...)
