Default Body kits
I've asked before but only had a few replies, I'm thinking about putting a body/kit ( lip, sideskirts, spoiler, and rear vallance) on my 05' base model. I'd like some ideas of what different ones could look like. Google only has so many pictures and they are all similar. I'd like to see something different. So any pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The reason you are not seeing many options is because there aren't very many. It's a Corvette, not a Honda.

Not true, the real reason u haven't gotten many response is this topic has been discussed many times over and most have grown tired.
So with that said here is my 05 base with ZR8X wide body kit.

There are only a handful of complete "body kits" out there, yours being one of the few options available. Pics of your car are probably among those he stated he'd already seen via search.

The ZR8X wide body kit is the best kit for a C6.

Body kits and Caliper Covers are not for me. It is what it is, who do you think your fooling? A Corvette owner can spot a fake a mile away.

Your saying that if someone decides to do a body kit then they are a fake?

So no one in your eyes is allowed to modify the look of their car?
