Rideskinz C7 Manta Ray, thoughts? (Pic heavy)

Hi Guys and Gals,
We completed our C7 Manta Ray project for SEMA a few weeks ago and we think it turned out great! This is truly a car you have to see in person, photo's do not do it justice. We constantly get compliments and thumbs up everywhere we go.


All of the aerodynamic upgrades are one-off prototype designs that we designed, clay sculpted, fabricated and painted in our small studio/workshop. If there is any interest, there is a possibility of making some of these parts for production or offering a full Manta Ray exterior package upgrade with wheels and performance upgrades.


Here are the exterior mod specs (2014 Corvette Stingray Z51):


Rideskinz Manta Ray fully custom front bumper with side brake cooler ducts, upper intake ducts and a larger main air dam opening with custom grille insert.


Rideskinz Manta Ray fully custom rear bumper with integrated “Stinger” spoiler and custom Manta Ray emblems


Rideskinz Manta Ray fully custom side splitters with integrated canards


Custom Manta Ray emblems on rear bumper and front fenders.


Custom painted hood, front fender, rear quarter and tail light bezel vent inserts with powdercoated steel octagon mesh backing.


Rennen Forged "Yakuza" wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires
FRONT:
1 pc Forged Monoblock 20"x10.0"
Sky Blue with Chevrolet Gun Metal Gray Accents- Matte Finish Powdercoat

REAR:
1 pc Concave Monoblock 20" x 12.0"
Sky Blue with Chevrolet Gun Metal Gray Accents- Matte Finish Powdercoat


Many more performance modifications coming soon!


Let us know what you think about the potential of this aerodynamic kit or full package (please keep it constructive ) Enjoy the pics!

I love the way the wheels fill out the wells, coming out for a more aggressive stance. Are the wheels one inch wider than stock? What are the dimensions and the off set in comparison to stock?

REVVIC, the wheels are 20x12 so a little over an inch wider, running 305/30/20. I don't know the exact offset.

The side skirts look great! I like the canards on them. However, the rear fascia not so much. It pretty much eliminates what little rear visibility we have. And I don't know about other states, but in Missouri it would fail safety inspections due to the elimination of the center brake light.

Thanks! The rear visibility is actually not too bad. The rear is just a one-off show piece for this car and not intended for production. The front bumper, side splitters and a different "dove tail" like rear spoiler are in the works for production next year. Here are some more shots of the "Manta Ray":
