Default Question for Lou G.

Do you guys have a body Kit on your C6R and if so is it an item you sell, or that I can get from some one else?

Also ,and this is less important, I am just curious, if it is a body kit, is it streetable?

Thanks, and I LOVE your LG Pro Long tubes guys!

Holy cow, thanks. Do you know if they are street legal?

Most of the parts will bolt directly on, but the nose would require some costom work due to the splitter on the bottom. I have the C6R and an 05 coupe, but I haven't tried swapping parts around. Street legal??? Who would know the difference, although the Carbon would likle not pass government crash tests.

Anyway, I suspect Kerry (owner of the company) will build a bolt-on lower spoiler assembly for street cars as demand grows.

here is a similar bolt-on from another forum member. This is a C5, but I imagine there will be a C6 bolt-on lip soon. Had he used yellow rivets (or painted them), it would look just like the World Challenge nose.



btw, C6 WC fenders should bolt on, and the hood fits, although there are no provisions for hinges (pinned only due to louvers)

Cool, thanks for the info David. Will the stock hood work with the other body parts?

Is the World Challenge appearance rule 50/50? 50 feet and 50 MPH? In which case you may want to let the inquirer know there will be a fair amount of work to get a street car looking good...

The hood will fit just fine, but like I said, no hinges. btw, the hood is amazingly light (as are all of the parts)

Unfortunately, Kerry didn't get the C6 parts until just a few weeks before the first race, and the first batch were pretty rought around the edges. Nothing your body man can't sand smooth, but hopefully Kerry has had time to smooth out his molds.

Blackc6: in plain english...race cars don't look that great up close and many rules packages encourage this...

They do need to look great on camera....hence they are often evaluated using the 50/50 rule...a lot of street guys are looking for near perfect...better check this out before you are an unhappy camper...people in the race parts business will show you no sympathy (they will not necessarily even understand your complaint)...
