Very nice, economical way of going widebody. I spent around $3700 to go OEM widebody on my Z51, but that includes wheels and tires, and my dad and I did the labor ourselves (except paint):

^^^ Very nice job done!
but it is different, my widebody is wider than a stock Z06/GS or ZR1.
Z06 is 3,5 inches wider than base C7.
my widebody is 4 inches wider each side. so 8 inches wider than base C7, and 4,5 inches wider than Z06

Nice. Tru-fiber kit right? I've been looking into the kit myself (49 years old by the way).
How did you get away without cutting the stock panels? Ever install I have been has cut the stock panel or the tires rub.

cutting stock panels was not needed as I'm not running too much low setup, I am not scraping inside the stock panels.

Ahh ok. They look a lot like the tru-fiber kit. I guess if you aren't lowered you don't need to cut the panel. Have you launched the car hard since installing it? I'm wondering if it will rub.
