Z06 C6 Rear quarters on a C6 Ok so after my SS got crunched i just banked the money and rocked a beater, but now the undergrad part of college is over and its time for law school and a new car.
1.) Can you put the Z06 rear Quarters on the C6
2.) Can you purchase them from GM? bolt in? mold in?
ok heres what i know, the lingenfelter Twin turbo 1/4 million dollar car has this done, but for 1/4 million, who knows what work was involved, and thats what im curious about, i mean i know anything is possible, what all is involved? Id love to just buy a Z, but thats just not the best use of money for me, and i HAVE to have t-tops, sunroof, targa, something, FRC while sexy, just doesnt do it for me.
any input--thx in advance for any help and no, i regret to say i didnt search first, hope this isnt an old beat topic.

The C6 Z06 fenders will work on a C6 vette. You can buy them from GM. You can buy them from breathless. I'm sure their are alot of other places now carrying them.
The rest of the stuff... your on your own.

The rear quarters from GM are cheap (about $300 per side). You also have to buy the inner fender pieces (total parts in the $1000 hood). It's not exactly bolt-up, but I've heard of people doing it for about $2500-3000 with paint. Check out Caravaggio, they have widened quarters that don't have the Z06 vents, but cost about 3X as much. I think they go right on though (basically same thing as the Breathless ones without the vent).

looks like it shouldnt be too bad on a coupe, the vert aspect definitly added some extra work for the body shop--
