or at least you find unused parts in your big box of old parts, with all the nice painted factory body panels piled on top of each other.

Maui, are you talking about this grill? If you are...that part is already installed on all C6's. Are we talking about the same thing?

I have a 2008 C6 and would like to have the rear ZO6 quarter panels installed.
Can someone give me an idea of approximately how many shop labor hours would be involved in removing my existing C6 rear quarter panels and installing the new ZO6 rear quarters?
Finally; the installation of the front ZO6 kit which consists of the bumper, two front fenders and accessory components looks to be much more complicated and involved. Again, could someone give me a general idea of approximately how many shop labor hours to remove my existing C6 front end components and install the new ZO6 front components?
Any help from anyone knowledgeable in the body shop arena would be greatly appreciated.
I am located in Harford County, Maryland if anyone has body shop experience in this area and would be interested in having me employ there services for at least the rear quarter panel installation.
Thanks in advance for any help - Pete

I don't know what a body shop would charge you but the rears are really easy to do yourself. You just need to get the panels painted to match, that's the hard part. Fronts are't hard either, just more parts to deal with.
