Anyone done Widebody Rear ONLY conversion on a C7?
If you have were there any issues with alignment of ZO6 parts on the C7?

The z06 side skirts don't align well with the base front fenders. It's not insane but it's easily noticeable.

That is correct. Here’s what it looks like up close.
…and back to the OP’s question. The best way to make a widebody rear only work is to go with a “filler” panel to complete the transition between the widebody quarter panels and the narrow body aperture panel like the one ACS Composite makes. That’s the route I went with for my first mod.
This was a trial fit of a widebody fender on a narrow body aperture when I was beginning a full widebody conversion. See how the shape/curvature is all wrong?
One car that installed widebody fenders on a Stingray.
Here’s a link to ACS. Mine is the blade silver car pictured.

I ended up modifying the front fenders to fit with the narrow body apertures but all said and done, I don't think it was worth it. Looks and fits fine but if one ever got damaged it wouldn't be a simple bolt on.
