You have to change every panel on the car, can't be cheap. I will be very interested to see one completed.

I would probably just opt to buy a C7. I'm one that likes the C7 back end and don't like the look with round tail lights but the rest I like.

You changed the concept on the rendering from a base front end to the Z06 which looks really good. Any pricing yet?

The pieces look very nice, but I am wondering where the poser police are. You know the ones that go ballistic if you put a badge on your car, or make it look like a GS, Z06, or ZR1. Can you just imagine what they will say when the first person post their finished project of a C7 conversion or C6 conversion or what ever it will be call.

I've never really been a fan of dressing up a car as something it's not.. but the craftsmanship and the renderings look pretty good so far.

not something I would personally do myself. I could see someone doing the fenders and/or the hood, but once you start doing the bumpers.. going too far to me. the rear end just looks off to me as well.

Looks good to me. Kind of interesting, sort of a C6.5. If the C7 had looked like this on the outside and had the interior style of the C7 but the interior room of the C6 I'd probably be driving one now.

As a fan of the G6 GS it is easy to see how you could do the hood and bumper covers on a GS to create a C7 look Grand Sport. I think many owners of C6 wide body cars would be interested in the hood because it is looks somewhat like a C6R hood.

Not sure what reaction you'd get from the C7 people, I'd bet that they are more than a little tired of hearing about how the car they just spent $60k+ on would be a lot better if it only looked more like a C6 and had more interior room.

Will there be a rain tray for the hood? Might look really good with black vents on a AW hood for my car.

Well done design. Congrats.

The key will be in the execution regarding fit and finish.

I think the hood may have a broad appeal, especially if it will fit over a supercharger. I like it.

WOW That SHOULD have been the C7 INDEED........Different enough, definitely a new design and does not look like a Kit or Transformer car. Great job.

Thanks guys! Lots of questions on these, to give you guys an idea the fenders are about $625 for the pair, front bumper is $600, hood is $650. We have some C7 Z06 side skirts too that were made but I don't have pictures just yet. We'll have the the fenders, hood, skirts etc in carbon soon.

How are the front grille and lamps addressed? I like the front bumper.

I would have liked the tail to have the same look as the C7. I've been wondering how long it's going to take for somebody to get that done. I would be interested.

I like the fact that these are built for a standard C6. Thanks for that!

So I can do the front bumper first without being forced to get the other parts which would stop me from even doing it.

When will these be available?

.....The C7 is here to stay so get over it guys!

Wow. That looks better than the C7, and I'm a C7 fan. Love the grill. That was always the problem with the C6.

Yes sir! All the parts are designed with oem C6 pieces and can be used separately.
How much is the hood alone??Is it fiberglass or by some stretch could it be carbon fiber???
