Default Mis matched wide body panels? help

Ive been wanting to do a wide body conversion on my 2007 base C6 for quite some time now. and i think i have just about every part i need.

My car is black and ive been serching for painted take off panels only so i could stay away from the body shop.

PARTS I HAVE SO FAR(please someone chime in if some of these parts will not fit or are wrong for fitment):

1. 2013 Black Z06 front bumper bare

2. 2013 Black Z06 rear quarter panels

3. 2012 Black Grand sport fenders(will these fit?!)

please anyone with some input on this help me out, like what else do i need to complete the job? im not worried about the ducts that cool the breaks. but i heard i might need inner liners?(whats the best place to buy)

Also what will be needed if anything to install this Z06 bumper?

I have new wheels coming in for it as well.

thank you!!

Looks like you have all the expensive stuff already.

Give GM Parts house a call and talk to Gene or Patrick. They have a complete list of everything needed for the conversion.

Don't expect part numbers from them though. They are very secret-squirrel about that stuff.
