Default Coupe wide body kits
Looking for comments on the plus and minus of various wide body kits for 09 C6 Coupe. (Rear Only)

How do stock GM Z06, compare to Carvaggio, or others?

What about brake duct interference when using 12" rims?

Not sure why you'd do anything other than GM. It works, period. The Z06 rears will work with 13s (no interference). I believe you could probably fit even wider wheels back there, but why bother?

Use GM body parts when ever possible. They just fit better. GM spends lots and lots of money for there molds and it shows. Been there done that.
