These automotive components are aftermarket modifications designed to increase the width of a Chevrolet Corvette C6’s body. They replace or augment the factory fenders, providing additional clearance for wider wheels and tires. This allows for improved handling and a more aggressive stance.
The installation of these wider panels offers several advantages. Performance enthusiasts often utilize this modification to accommodate larger, stickier tires, enhancing grip and cornering capabilities. Aesthetically, this modification dramatically alters the vehicle’s appearance, contributing to a more muscular and visually imposing presence. The trend originated in motorsports, where wider tires were necessary for competitive performance, and has since transitioned into the aftermarket customization scene.
