Cross Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 So I bought the new Vette rear Wide Body Fenders.... now to get them painted. Next will be a hood to modify and then either a Tiger Shark front bumper or buy another one to fix the damage this one has... But this should be quite fun... or I will curse the day I thought of doing this... we shall see. They went on sale on the big boards to I talked myself into a Paypal purchase... http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-parts-for-sale-wanted/3032229-fs-zr-rear-fenders.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe@cpr.com Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Nice!!! Be ready to spend some coin to get them to fit well, the shop who did mine and neils' (red vert) is 1/2 mile from my shop and he is one of my longest friends. I know you probably have someone local but he has personal experience getting these perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cross Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Then I might just want to meet him. I do have someone local, Cheyenne's God Father is the owner of Larry's Paint and Body so he puts up with my odd requests... but I never know if he will have the time now so I may have to go that route. I am coming up there Thursday to have NicD convert the New Vette to E85 maybe I can stop in and see the new build of yours. What did the final numbers end up being? Every time I see an FD in the back ground I want an LSx swapped one... I miss my FD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cross Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Joe if one of those RX7's ever pops up for sale let me know... or at least keep me in mind. I have this LS2 sitting here and I have been asking myself what do I put it in... Thought about an RX8 but there does not seem to be a lot of information.

Drewstein Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I'm pretty sure there's a body shop that ignores my calls thanks to these fenders lol. They look sexy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest badbobs95 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I'm just glad I didn't have to pay for mine! This guy painted the whole car after doing the fenders and hood. And he did a perfect job. Should be perfect for $7,500! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I demand more pictures of the red C5 Vert with the wide fenders. OK, may I see some more pics of the C5 Vert Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest badbobs95 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I demand more pictures of the red C5 Vert with the wide fenders. OK, may I see some more pics of the C5 Vert Please?Unfortunately it's not just the fenders, installation and the paint. Then you need twelve inch wheels and 345/30/19 tires which are only about $500 each. Oh ya Neil's red C5 is fantastic. Joe's is just OK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRS Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I demand more pictures of the red C5 Vert with the wide fenders. OK, may I see some more pics of the C5 Vert Please?It's getting there...should be ready soon I'll make sure to post pictures and details after it's out of Joe's (CPR). That is if I don't think up other things to do to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest badbobs95 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Love the look those give!And that is an excellent price for those. The company that makes them (L5Motorsports) sells them for $899.00 plus shipping. You go boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cross Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Pic's mine arrived a few days ago. I would have posted them sooner but I had to go visit AZ Dyno Chip with the new Vette after some of the changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cross Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Umm... is it still called Polo Green like the C4's were? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTV8 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Umm... is it still called Polo Green like the C4's were? What you have there is Dark Bowling Green Metallic. With sexy yeller brakes. IIRC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Poppa Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 That would be it!! Sexee brakes and all. I would have done the wide quarter panels but the cost of getting the wheels to do it right is more than I ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDAGRUV Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Ya know, Bob, that for an extra couple hundred bucks they could have done a complete paint job of the WHOLE CAR........Too bad they masked off the tail end & forgot to spray it! :smilelol :laughing gut bustin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
