I made the body panels myself. I bought my car specifically for this....I 3D scanned my car, used a 3D model from a racing simulator, subtracted the model from the scan, flip milled the parts, adhered them onto the car, took multi-piece molds of car's altered body panels with the factory mounting points, fabricated the kit and 10 months later...voila! One day I'll make an all carbon kit, but this will do for now. It is epoxy and fiberglass, plenty strong
Thanks! Same wheel size as C7.R racecar, totally different offset. 18"s all around...12.5" wide in the front, 13" wide in the rear. Same exact michelin (wet) race tires 65/30, 71/31

Thanks, EVERYBODY, for the vote of confidence! I just remember when I got the chance to see the C7.R race car live in action at VIR in 2015, 2016. I have some old youtube videos with over 100k views under "ProtoFabLab" of the C7.R... that thing had a presence and attracted spectators like a magnet. So, 8 years later this is what I have. It is 1 foot wider than the stingray, has coilovers, BTR cam, tune, DOD delete, borla s type exhaust, 7 speed manual, 450hp at the wheels, which is plenty for me. It's quite fun to cruise around in...long distances...nope haha Thanks again for the support!

So nonchalant just 3D scanned my car, flipped milled parts, molds of car, fabricated the kit and 10 months later voila. Are you kidding me sounds like quite a lot and quite the PITA. Good going very industrious. Looks sick by the way.
That's so cool. If you could only get a hold of one of those 5.5L race engines. Would probably be big bucks. I love that C7.R, have watched it race at Road America many times. Why is it not good for long distances? Race seats?
