I'd say I'm 95% of the way there Still need to buy the new inner fender rubber strips for inside the hood and put on the Z06 front splash guards.

That's a great alternative to the full front widebody and it looks great. Thanks for sharing.

Did the body shop just go off the paint code, or did they color match from the adjacent body panels.

I don't know how it looks in person but in pictures #4,7,and 8 you can clearly see in the angle the paint does not match the door in color shade.

I have the same ones and I'm just waiting for them to get painted, those look great! I was a little concerned about the fitment but I'm not anymore after seeing yours! Are those OEM sized wheels?

Thanks! Yes these are OEM Z06 speedlines. You are going to love the fit. Body shop couldn't believe how good they were for aftermarket. Don takes a ton of pride in his work

To me, is not that clear, silver is a hard color to match. Looks different with every angle.

Exactly. Machine silver looks different at every angle. I got wide body look for under $5300 so I'm happy.

Sure! I got them from Don at SS Vettes. They also offer the Z06 and Grand Sport wide fender design that fit the base nose through Xtreme Supercars.
