That paint match is absolutely beautiful

Never heard of JD Corvette so I'm hopeful

I have a 2008 base in the same color…love it…your color match looks very good to me on the video, gives me some hope that if mine is ever damaged it can be matched…

Looking good man! I’m currently building my widebody C6 as well. I went with Apex racing wheels. They are fantastic and look stellar.

Thanks I appreciate it! I’ll have to check out Apex racing wheels, good luck with your build!

Set of grand sport wheels!!!

Hopefully you have sourced the splash guards already the OEM VERSIONS are discontinued. I needed the right side rear and no joy. Limited aftermarket selections; none at a reasonable cost

Haha yeah I ran into that issue. Currently bought some aftermarket ones that are carbon. They have some slight fitment issues but over not terrible. Still waiting for some OEM ones to surface lol

From experience: If you go with JD corvette wide front fenders in the future. Go with an OEM front bumper rather than the JD corvette front bumper.

Where can I find the front JD quarter panels? I don't see them on their site.

No, I’m actually currently looking for them right now, the passenger side was discontinued from GM for some reason but not the driver side

Great job man !! gratz !! , btw man , did you get the rear fender vents ? the trim between the fuel door and the door ?

@apprenticeautomotive

Thank you! I was able to find the vent bezels but not the actual vents that connect in the fender liner to cool the breaks. Those ZO6 fender liners are discontinued from GM so you would have to find them off a wrecked car or find them used somewhere :/

@@apprenticeautomotive ohh ok got it , yeah i think ill put some mesh on that vent , just to cover a lil bit the vent hole , and about the rear inner liner i think i found a page that supplies the parts to GM i just order the 2 rears and 1 on the front , lets see if its good quality and if they work im fingers crossed , if no , i just wasted 400 bucks 😥😅

I’d say maybe a set of C7 zr1 wheels would look nice

I was thinking about these! They would look sweet

i have a base c6 too and want to do the same.what size wheel and size is needed for the widebody.and do you need spacers

@apprenticeautomotive

6 ай бұрын

You’ll need a 12 inch wide wheel in the rear, if you use a 10inch wheel you’ll need a 1.5inch spacer

What width tire you end up getting? I’m wanting this but I’m scared of not being able to get the right fitment especially if I’m spending 1500 on a carbon fiber set

I actually made a video on the tires I’m running not too long ago. I ended up putting OEM Zo6 wheels on my car and they fit perfectly. Go on my channel and check it out if you want. I go over the fitment and everything

did you take the fenders back off for paint?

@apprenticeautomotive

Yes, the place I brought them too painted them off the car and then put them back on

You should do a total price video

Did you do the liners as well? I kept reading that can add to cost.

How did you feel it driving without the wheel liner? Is all you installed then just the quarter panels that’s it?

Driving without the fender liner was fine, it just had a little more cabin noise. I ended up cutting the old fender liner lip off and put them back on and it works perfectly! I’m going to make a video explaining everything I did. A lot of the Z06 conversion parts are discontinued which sucks :/
