Wide Booty Conversion Complete Hey guys,
I just finished my wide body rear conversion on my base c6. I had two days of prep work that I put into it, but it came out fairly well for someone who never used a HVLP paint gun. I got the rears from California Supercoupes and it worked out good since they are right down the road from me, so I was able to shoot down there and pick them up. The panels all came predrilled and I only had to elongate one hole per side. Not bad at all to be honest. I put two coats of base and two clear coats on the rears. There are some imperfections which I knew was going to be there prior to finishing since im not a professional painter. Either way I had a blast doing it and I love working on my car when I can. I am waiting on the clear to set in before I wetsand and buff the rears. The car is going to be professionally painted when I do my z06 front end conversion, I am not taking on that lol.

Well I got around to doing the front end conversion as well. I had a set of 6.0 badges to cover the OEM hole where the Z06 badge goes over. Love how it all came together!
