z06 conversion
What is the best way to accomplish this? I have a 2007 base and would like it to look like a z06 what should i start with first? any kits that i should stay away from? Im a very patient person and can shop around for the best deals i just need to know what i should be looking for.
I was planning on buying some new wheels shortly but i think i had better hold off on that untill i get new rear finders. I have a few can's of my oem base paint/clear so when i get the parts matching will not be an issue.
I would love to hear from some of you that have been down this road before. kinda let me know what the "do's and dont's" are
maybe some links or a wite up would be fantastic!
thanks-
Tim

Do a search on "WideBody" and you'll get a lot of info. Many have did the conversion without much pain.

I got my rear kit from Corvette Recycling. The service was stellar! Also, check out what Gene Culley has to offer. He is really good to work with also.
I was thinking of doing the front end but decided to stay with just the wide-booty for now! Good luck!
