Thanks

Wow, now that is a project, but they look soooo cool with this mod...
Can I be so forward to ask what this mod costs and where you source these parts?
I have a modified C3 that I have posted on the forum. Once sold or traded I am looking to buy a C6 and do this very mod.
Thanks mskvettefan

The front is more expensive at about 2,400 for the parts and another 250 for shipping again due to size (of course it will depend on how far you are from the supplier).
Then the painting of the parts will add up too depending on your area of the country and who you can find. The rear cost me $800 and I did the front myself with a friend for $360, so I got very lucky.
There are many suppliers for GM original parts and aftermarket. I got most of the parts from Partstaxi. I was able to find factory blems on the internet for the fenders and bumper so I saved about 1,000 bucks on the front alone. Just right place right time.
