First off, an absolutely beautiful Corvette, I truly love the look. I do have a question however, wouldn’t it have been less expensive to sell the Stingray and buy a Grand Sport or Z06? Just asking!

If it only cost you 2k out of pocket that was a good move.... the car looks fantastic!

With new wheels, paint, labor and tires you could expect spend 5-7k

Beautiful car, the changes all pull together great!

Original Stingray front fenders with OEM Gran Sport spats? What wheel combination did you use to pull off a wide body rear with a narrow body Stingray front? I must admit it looks great! Are your wheel offsets and widths the same as a Gran Sport?
