Default C5R Style wide body kit / Wide body fenders / C5R Style hood and lots more! Join in!

Hey guys! We are excited to announce a lot of big updates to our C5 Catalog! We have been working non stop in our design department to be able to offer new racing bodies, fenders, hoods, chassis mounted spoilers and more! We wanted to start this thread so we can have a place to answer any questions and offer updates as we keep releasing new products for the C5 Corvette.

Our new C5R Inspired wide body kit will be releasing later this year.. It's a great time to reserve one of the first kits to take your C5 to the next level.
26.8mm of extra width per side in the front fender !
40.8mm of extra width in the rear!

Accepting Reservations now!

We will also be offering wide fenders that are a bolt on to your C5 Z06 and FRC that provide a 1" flare in the front and 1.5" flare in the rear.


More detailed picture's coming soon! And lots of new information!













C5 / C6 Chassis mounted wings!

New front flare options are a great idea. You mentioned Z06/FRC but the front flares should work with the coupe too, correct?

I like the idea of wide front but it might look a little funny without the wide rear? Like skipping leg day lol Well better than tire poking out I guess

Any pics/renderings of the flared front/rear fenders? I like the 1.5" rear idea, but I'd really like to see them along estimated pricing

Oh and yes, are you ONLY making Z06/FRC rears or was that a typo? I don't see a reason fronts won't work for either...

Haha yeah, that was a challenging time as covid popped in and we ended up changing our entire design department.

We are going to start with the Z06 / FRC first and see how the interest is with the new kits
And correct, the fronts are the same, Z06/FRC/Convertible can all use the same rear fenders, however the targa will need a specific rear fender.

Welp, so much for buying the front flares seperately

I want just the front bumper, but will that work without the flared front fenders?
