Default Wide body C6
Pretty aggressive, i would do it! Think of a narrowed rear end and mini tub, you could fit 345's easy!

Don't much care for that kit. Though there was a C5 with a wide body kit at the first SomeNites Cruise this year and it looked damn good. Not to mention it had a supercharged and sprayed 427 in it....mmmmmmm.

I would need pics from different angles to make a proper assessment, but I don't love it or hate it, from what I can see.

The front looks fine, but the rear is far too pronounced. It doesn't flow back into the body smoothly. It almost looks like the car has dually fenders.

The guy is a member on corvetteforum, his original post is here: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...body-done.html
A different angle of the front can be found here on post 4: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...wide-body.html

I don't mind the wide body, much more troubling to me is the hood with the additional scoop.

Hmm, i see your point. Its almost cool but a little too weird. I think it would look good if he painted the lower scoop black! And then a black racing stripe continuing after the raised portion of the hood.

I like the car. The hood is fine too. Maybe a bit too wide, but I like it.

It's too abrupt. It doesn't flow with the body lines of the car at all...

Looks terrible. Why would you take away from the sleekness of the body?
