Corvette Z06 Widebody Kit?

eiffelpower · 01-13-2014, 06:18 PM

Does anyone know how many parts of the Corvette coupe's body panel would need to be replaced to match that of the Z06 widebody look? Here is a look at the Stingray Z06/Coupe side by side comparison.

This is exactly what I want to know...

So looking at pics I'm thinking the front and rear fenders plus the side skirt. Rear looks the same and I think the front is too...

Sharing my observation, the fronts are the same, the rear on the ZO6 is much wider. The front has that fender lip to accommodate the wider tire.

Same observation I had during the reveal day full of vids & pics... front fender panels look the same sans those black plastic fender flares or spats, while the rear quarter panels are definitely new & wider.

There was a mention by the designer that every panel from the glass down is different. If you look at the photos closely, you can see the rockers and door panels are a lot different, not just the fenders and rear fascia. As the rockers are bonded to the frame before any of the rest of the car is assembled, they may be the most difficult to change. The other panels should just bolt on. Still, probably cheaper to just buy a Z06 when all is done.

I believe the rear is 3.5 inches wider and the front is only 2 inches
