Default Wide Body Conversion Picture Thread

Hello all
I'm sure there's threads out there that show wide body conversions but not one that I could find. It doesn't have to be from the beginning phase just completed. Please post your wide body conversion and mention the wheels you are running. Thanks

Not a wide body conversion - Base Z Conversion

Here is my Base C6 when I bought it.



And now after the conversion.

Currently in the market for a set of Forgestar or CCW Wheels.
