now now children, let us play nice. Beauty is purely subjective matter, at least this one does not require clear guard rock protection as its american widebody counterparts and is considerably more aerodynamic.

I wanted the taller RF version from the posted yellow 2012 ZR1 shoot, but it appears to be a one off :/
There are alot of good looking Vettes here

Cool...well if it already has a full width spoiler then consider your car complete. Anything else added would only detract (unless you ever decide to go wide rear fenders...I'm always a fan of that....not front fenders).
at anything else detracting, but then saw the fender comment and was like

Ive tossed around a rear wide body or your flares. What fills the gap between the stock fender and the flare edge? What was cost with paint and mounting?

My flares retail about $500. You can have them pro painted for several hundred more. Install was a friend-with-a-shop type gig, so not too sure on retail there. They don't take long at all though. Stick them where you want them to go, take a few measurements to make sure they're angled correctly and centered, mark a line on your fender, remove the mocked-up flare, draw a second line of a 1" smaller radius inside the first, and start cutting. Scuff up the surface a bit between the two lines, lay the flares up with your favorite bonding agent, and tape them very well in place. Let bonding agent cure, and presto.
You will need to trim your inner plastic fenderwells back a bit, which leaves a small gap that you can address as you see fit. Best way is to remove the plastic fender well and snap-rivet in a 2" wide (or so) strip of lawn edging or other type of flexible plastic/rubber along the edge to extend it. Reinstall, good to go. Repeat for other side.
