A modification package designed to enhance the visual appearance and performance characteristics of a second-generation Chevrolet Corvette (C2). These kits typically consist of fender flares or extensions that broaden the vehicle’s stance, allowing for the accommodation of wider wheels and tires. An example would be a fiberglass or carbon fiber addition that extends outwards from the original body lines, creating a more aggressive and modern aesthetic.
The application of such a package can offer multiple advantages. Beyond the aesthetic appeal of a more imposing presence, the increased width facilitates the installation of larger tires, which can improve grip, handling, and overall performance, particularly in cornering and acceleration. Historically, these kits emerged as a response to the growing popularity of motorsports and the desire to improve vehicle dynamics on the track, eventually finding their way into the aftermarket customization scene. These modifications can also increase the value of the vehicle.
