I did the rear conversion about 3 months ago, would love to do the front using ZR1 fenders but just like the Z06 fenders they are expensive as hell.

Car looks great!

Thank you, try Ecklers for the front Z fenders. Granted they are fiberglass but I heard their fitment is second to non. I want to say they are around 345 a fender on there. Jay

Take a look into the trick flows as well. They make awesome power on LS engines. Jay

Looks good, how much are you into it if you don't mind me asking?

If I ever get a Vette I think a base c6 LS3 is more than enough for me plus I don't want to deal with the LS7 issues.

Not at all. The rears were 895.00 all together from California Supercoupes. The front fenders and bumper I got for a heck of a deal that I still pinch myself when I think about it. They came off a silver Z that was being parted out for 1600.00 total for both fenders and bumper. The guy was tired of the parts sitting in his garage, had the add up for a half a day and I drove up and sealed the deal. I am in this for thousands less than others. But I waited and waited until I came across the fronts on craigslist and bought the complete front. I already bought a set of ecklers front fenders but I turned around and sold them immediately after I installed the front fenders and bumper. Jay

Any suggestions to who has the best fitment / finish for a C5? I'm aware of the L5's, but I believe there's a few other companies as well.
