I don't understand why anyone would want to take a perfectly good Corvette and put a body kit on it to make it look like another car.

Sort of like dating a transvestite. Fun until you find out what it really is. (Sorry...the image just popped into my head and thought your guys need a laugh. And nobody ask me how I know).

If you want a Ferrari (and I do), then buy a Ferrari.

Its a free country and you can do what you like, but I would never do it to my Corvette.

I really doubt he is really going to do this. He just joined, he probably doesn't even live in Houston or have a vette...............well lets hope not anyway.

ps. thanks for the artwork simplyph really looks like you put some time into it!
I hope for your Vette's sake your joking.

Remember this. People that know, will know ur a poser. People that don't, don't care.

And if your not joking, for the sake to everything you hold holy, please don't post pics.

To the OP...here are two options for you:
Czech company kit: http://www.carzi.com/2008/12/22/inno...press-release/
Takes some styling cues from Ferrari. If you really want some Ferrari touches, I think this is one of the "better" looking kits I saw when I did a search on Google for this thread.
Or...make your C6 look like a C3: http://www.themotorreport.com.au/134...he-glory-days/

I, for one, would not put a body kit to make my Vette look like it isn't a Vette. Adding the Z06 rear body work is tempting down the road, but I would never take a Vette and make it look like a Ferrari or similar exotic. That is why GM built the Fiero.

Wow... while I ain't a fan of totally copying the Ferrari f430 body onto a Vette, all the original poster wanted was to know where to get that kit... But I guess he should have known that it would be hard to get a simple answer here...
To each his own, live and let live...

Had the ferarri not existed it would look nice but anyone seeing the car with that kit on it would think you were stealing the design. Bite-off/wanna be would be the words you would hear.
