Default C5 and C6 coupes needed for custom rear quarter panel prototype

The C5 I just need to tweak the Z06/Convertible quarter we already produced, to fit the coupe (they're slightly different at the top)

The C6 is a new design and I will need to remove the OEM quarters from your car and fit the ones I'm fabbing with a set of 13" CCWs. No big deal, I can have both changed in about two hours.

For your troubles I will give you a set of quarter panels (over $800) and depending what color your car is I may even paint them for you

Looks pretty good man ! When are you going into production ? I still think you should make them from a vacuum bagged carbon pre preg .

Thanks Jimmy!

V8-thanks! We're ramping up on a whole new line of Corvette and F body composites. CF is possible if the demand is there. We can do urethane too.

Whistler , you told me about it when you picked up the block and I really like what I see . If you ever need any help from someone experienced with composites let me know , I'd like to help out . I've always thought the domestic crowd needed more options for composite body panels to upgrade looks and lose some weight in the process .

So I loan you my c5 so you can make the correct fit and you give me panels? Installed or not installed? I have an electric blue targa top coupe. Would you be able to paint?
