Everything in the front will just bolt up. The rear 1/4s is another story. If you're using regular ZO6 1/4s then they have to be slightly modified to fit. If you're using GS 1/4s they'll bolt right up. If you're buying the conversion kit it comes with everything you need minus paint. If not, then you'll need to piece together everything such as, liners, inner & outter inserts, splash guards, etc, etc.

Here is some info for you. I LOVE my wide body vert. Changes the character of the car dramatically. It gets a lot of attention being so low and so wide.

Did my vert. My advice is make sure you get gm parts-not aftermarket. I,ve had alignment problems with after market stuff. Car will look super. Remember, you will need to change wheel and tires. I would not go with anything less than 12 inch rear wheels 345 tires. As I stated I did mine and is acutely aware of the what you will be going through. Good luck!!!!

I could certainly help you out with this. We could use the quarter panels from the GS convertible so you'd be fine there. Feel free to send me an email or give me a call.
