A killer wide body kit conversion has been made for the Chevrolet Corvette, from the tuners at ZR1 Body Kits. The Chevy Corvette already looks great from the factory, but this look has been inspired by the C6.R Corvette racing cars, featuring an aggressive stance and exterior styling. It is available in two varieties, the more aggressive called the Extreme Style ZR1 for the C6 Z06 Grand Sport retails for $7,599, while the tuning firm also offers the mild OEM-style ZR1 body kit for $6,999. Both of these performance packages are made from fiberglass using compression molds, and is similar to what the GM OEM manufacturers use for their body panels, while keeping the factory mounting points.

The tuners at D2Forged took the Chevy Corvette ZR1 and decided to improve a sports car that doesn’t really need extra work. If you expected to see a complete Corvette ZR1 tuning package here, well I’m sorry to say this isn’t it.

These wheels offered by D2Forged are available in either 19 or 20-inches, and come with a gloss black center, chrome lip, and chrome rivets. Now the paint job is what caught my attention, the wheels just add a sporty look to the Corvette.

Geiger was able to distribute the weight better for improved handling by installing an electronically controlled sport suspension.

Corvette C6 ZX-1 by Karvajal Designs
Corvette is probably one of the best cars americans made and when it’s modified by several tuning companies you always get a great sports car that will amaze everyone. The guys from Karvajal Designs created an interesting 3d project to modify this Corvette that looks pretty good. There aren’t too many tuning companies that try to create a 3d project first and after that they’ll start modifying the car. In this case, the modified car is slightly different than the 3d project. The project was more agressive, sportier and it had some nice colors but it’s probably harder to create a car in the real world than in virtual reality.
