Dive into the World of C7 Wide Body Kits

Hey fellow Corvette enthusiasts!

I’m on the hunt for a wide body kit specifically designed for the C7 Corvette, and I could really use some input from all of you who might have experience or insights on this topic.

My Goals

I’m looking to enhance the aesthetic appeal of my C7 while also considering potential performance improvements. Here’s what I’m particularly interested in:

  • Design options: What styles are available?
  • Materials: Are there particular materials that offer better durability or weight savings?
  • Fitment: How well do these kits fit? Any issues with installation that I should be aware of?
  • Manufacturer recommendations: Which brands have the best reputation?
  • Cost: What kind of budget do I need to set aside?

Things to Consider

I’ve seen a few options, but I want to ensure I make an informed decision. Here are some specific factors I’ve been contemplating:

  • Aesthetic Value: Which kits provide the sleekest, most aggressive look without looking overdone?
  • Performance Impact: Do any kits claim to improve aerodynamics or handling? If so, has anyone experienced a noticeable difference?
  • Community Feedback: I’d love to hear about personal experiences with various kits—what did you like, what did you not like?

Thanks in advance for your help! I’m excited to dive deeper into this modification and can’t wait to see your responses.

I’ve installed a wide body kit on my C7, and the added width definitely improved stability at higher speeds. I also noticed better cornering! Overall, it’s a great investment for performance.

That’s awesome to hear! Did you also notice any changes in aerodynamics, like downforce?

Yes, it feels like the downforce is significantly better, especially during aggressive driving! I’ve also made some suspension tweaks to complement the wide body kit.

I’ve heard mixed reviews about the handling post-installation. Some say it improves it, while others feel it’s less responsive. What’s your take on that?

I agree, but for me, the handling improved considerably! Maybe it’s just the right setup for my driving style.

That’s a good point, tward! I think it also depends on what other mods you have done. A proper alignment post-installation is crucial too.

Absolutely! I noticed a big difference in how my car handled after getting a professional alignment.

I’m still on the fence about installing one. Wondering if the performance gains are worth the investment. How does it affect daily driving?

Honestly, I find it quite manageable! It feels more stable overall, which is a bonus for daily driving.

Performance-wise, it’s a game changer, but it can be a little rough on bad roads. Just be prepared for some bumps.

That’s definitely something to consider! If I go for it, I might need to adjust my suspension for comfort.

Ha! Just don’t forget to avoid potholes like they’re the enemy! When it’s done right, the kit looks fantastic too!

So true! The aesthetics just elevate the car. What brands do you all recommend?

I used the Z06-style kit from one of the popular brands, and couldn’t be happier—it’s performance-enhancing and eye-catching!

Great to hear! Did you notice any difference in fuel efficiency at higher speeds?

Honestly, I didn’t track that closely, but it definitely feels like I burn more fuel with the wider stance during spirited driving!

Hey everyone! I’m considering a wide body kit for my C7. I really want to enhance its aesthetic appeal. Any suggestions?

Have you checked out the Vorsteiner kits? They look fantastic and give the C7 a more aggressive stance. The carbon fiber option is especially sharp!

I’m a big fan of the Liberty Walk kits. They really transform the car’s look into something that commands attention. The paint choices can complement whatever design you choose.
