How did you do the front wide body without a Z06/GS/ZR1 nose? Looks great!

its not 100% there because they are aftermarket fenders so its not %100 fitment, its not off by a lot but the lines are a little off. But i seen people fit the Zo6/GS/ZR1 nose on base models without a problem.

All you need now are all of the other panels in carbon fiber.

Honestly? Looks like an unpainted vette with body damage that needs paint asap. I think black cars could possibly pull that look off but not red. How bad are the gaps?

Isn't that kit designed for base cars? No brake scoop on the rear fenders is different, I like it. Needs paint in my opinion

Need to wrap the rest of the car to match the carbon fiber, you don't paint the carbon fiber.

right that would be nice. I estimate the cost to make it all carbon fiber would be somewhere around 10k. I would need to add another 7k to finish the whole carbon fiber look. the only thing they don't make is the doors and rear bumper.

I've gotten some thumbs up and some thumbs down. The thumbs down usually come from older folks. and thumbs up from younger gen. so Im undecided. I would consider painting it if the fitment was perfect. But i might go and find OEM wide body. I'm undecided on the route. just grabbing what ever comes up in opportunity.

The hatch is only around 900 while the hood is almost double that. I got the hood not long ago. If they make all of the body panels in carbon I would probably try it.

Nice looking vet

If I can come up with the funds i would defiantly do it. I picked up the front and rear fenders used off of craigslist for only $1200 thats why I'm happy with it. a carbon Fiber hood is differently the idea though.
