Default 2006 Corvette Body Kit (ZR1/Z06 Style) To Squeeze More Tire In?

How are the body part kits (like rear quarters and front fenders) that are available for a C6 that give it the ZR1/Z06 look?

Anyone offer the parts in Carbon Fiber?

You can get the fenders and everything you need from GM already painted (as long as your car is the same color as a Z06 color), just bolt it on.

It very hard to beat the factory parts. All the ZO6/ZR1 front and rear fenders are direct boltons to a C6. The aftermarkets pieces dont have the fit and finish of the factory parts. The ZO6 front fenders are carbon fiber and the rears are fiberglass.

As said by others , stick to the Gm kit and you can't go wrong.

If you were to make this a track-only car, and go with a fuel cell, how hard would it be to have the gas door fiberglassed shut?

Would the rework eventually let go or move at a different rate than the OEM glass and show through the paint?

Cool

Hey so let me get this straight. If I buy an 08 C6, I can get all the body pannels from GM to convert it into a Z06 or ZR1? I just want to make sure. Thanks again guys!
