I can't even start to explain how much it changes the look of the car in a wow kind of way. People don't just look at her now, they stare! Lol

Here's proof of the dramatic change a wide body makes. Same car, before and after.

Wow, that is an amazing difference! Looks fantastic!!

Looks like you changed rear fenders, added front splitter/hood/grill. Does that cover all your changes?

Thanks!

As for the exterior, a full wide body conversion including a 427 carbon fiber take off hood, carbon fiber Z06 fenders, Z06 rear quarters, Z06 brakes, Z06 springs and sway bars, and 360 (3 piece) Forged Wheels.

May other upgrades in the interior and others that you can't see.

Just ordered my Painted Rear quarters fro RPI today. 8 Week lead time, and I have to send my gas door so they can match the paint.

Please keep us posted. I am interested ordering the painted rear quarters from them myself.

I am waiting for my custom painted fuel rails from them.

Is that a different profile of the fender flare than OE?
More rounded?

It's shape is that of the stock Coupe fender, but made 2" wider. That way it matches the front fender. Only 12 sets of these carbon fiber wide fenders were made for public sale. I acquired the last one(thx Jack).

I have the Forgestar CF10 deep concaves on mine.

I started with a wide booty then progressed to the whole thing.

While driving around yesterday I thought of you when I saw a driveway that was level but had a hump in the span of about the length of a Corvette, it was about 6" high or so and would be in-between the front ad rear tires You'd never make it without damage to those side skirts.
And you know I love your car

Actually that is wrong.

My rims are 360 Forged Concave GT 5 rims (3 piece). They are quite a bit more expensive than OEM Z06 wheels.

I had them both for a while, but sold the SS for money to get an A&A supercharger kit and Painted wide body rear.
