Nice job. Looks like you now have a grand sport. What was the total cost of this upgrade?

Looks Great! Had me fooled at first. How long did the conversion take to complete?

6 Hours of exterior work...pulling the old panels off and putting new panels on. Does not include paint time.

Just because i'm nosy and im sure other's may like to know as well what was the entire cost of this project? Oh I see now $7K that is surprisingly reasonable.

13,000$ on mine but went the whole nine yards - except for engine 6,000$ for paint and labor and 7,000$ parts and looks amazing in person - paint work is awesome get compliments on it all the time, each panel has 13 coats of base on it no more wonky metallics

Are the side skirts and splitter carbon fiber or carbon flash?

I was on the fence about where to order my splitter and side skirts. But looking at your C7 conversion, JWM is the best choice.

I’m planning to do this same conversion myself. Do you have a complete parts list for what is needed to do the rear conversion?
