Default Need a wider than C7 Z06 wide body?

Those of you who were at the Pavilions Rock & Roll Car Show yesterday (3-29 • Scottsdale) about 3pm we had a visitor:
Attachment 48373130
Riding on 22” Forgiato wheels with a $45K paintjob (looked like a version of Lambo Orange to me) and a wide body kit that made the C7Z06 look narrow. It is one of 3 wide bodies that Forgiato is taking around to show off their stuff. They have two other show cars: baby blue coupe and a red Vert, all with 22” wheels and $$$$$ paint jobs. Impressive in person.

Better than the light blue one!

$45k Paint Job? I find that hard to believe. Now I would believe that they have $45k invested into it.

I think it would look nicer in person, but it kinda looks like Matchbox car in picture.

.....and this is the only photo you got?


Load 'em up. Looks good. Not a fan of the wheels, but the wide body looks great.

Two things need to be changed: the style of the spokes in the wheels (they really do not compliment the car) and the somewhat silly looking insert in the grill... otherwise, that looks pretty damn cool.

I just checked out their website and all of their wheels look like garbage. No way in hell would I spend that much on a car and then ruin it with expensive wheels that look like s***.

I like the color.

But the "buck tooth" grill is horrible.

I only took some bad cell phone pix AND this color is VERY hard to photograph in bright sunlight. But these give you an idea about the wide body kit. Fit & finish was perfect. Personally I didn’t care for the 22” wheels and the flat front grille overlay. But in Tiger Shark Gray or Blade Silver with 20” HRE wheels this would be killer, IMHO.
