Default Wide Body Kit Total Cost

What should I expect to pay for a rear wide body kit with install and painting for a 2009 Cyber Gray C6?

I think the rear fenders are about $1200, painting and installation prices are all over the place but I think around $800-900 should be a rough price.

The other big cost is the replacement of wheels and tires. You would need to replace the front tires also because of the ratio between the front and rear needs to stay about the same. You will find this is a pretty big cost.

I recently had mine done with a Z06 rear widebody kit, blending of paint on all adjacent panels & new wheels and tires. You're probably looking at $4300 to $5000 only if you not going with custom wheels & expensive tires. Then, it could be much higher!

$5K with fenders, paint, decent wheels, used Z06 take off tires, Z06 big brakes. SS lines.

You may be able to sell you stock wheels, tires, brakes to offset some of the costs.

About $3500 with paint in this area. Add the front in the mix and you are closer to $10K.

I have a Cyber Gray as well. I paid 1200 for the rear wide body kit. Still waiting for the inner lining and hardware(backorder). It is going to cost me 1750 to get it painted....ouch. The guy who I use is prob a little more expensive than others but I know he does an outstanding job. From everything I have heard CGM can't just be ordered and matched so it has to be a custom blend to match the paint due to the discrepancies with the metallic flakes. I bought Iforged wheels so the price there does not need to be factored in as your price may be completely different. So all in all I will spend 2950 for just the conversion.

think CGM is expensive, try painting a JSB vette! $300ish a PINT and very hard to match!

Cost me $900 for paint and install and 1300 for the parts from parts taxi. They did a good job on the paint, but it is an easier color, black. Of course I then dropped $4300 on new rims and tires from CCW. I can tell you that on my 08 vert, its looks great. Worthwhile mod.
