Introducing Supervettes' Conversion Kit for the Corvette C6

While several companies are working on new tuning packages for the Corvette C7, Supervettes came up with a conversion kit for the previous generation Corvette C6. Dubbed "SV8.R", the new kit can be applied to any Corvette C6 model from 2005 to 2013 to give it a C7-like look while not abandoning the round taillights.

The body kit is fully made from carbon fiber and makes the car 5 inches wider. In addition to the body kit, the car receives a new set of wheels measuring 20 inches front and 21 inches rear. Also included in the package are the new exhausts, new brakes as well as some interior tweaks. If you're among the first five buyers, the package will cost you $60,000. Otherwise, it will cost you $65,000.

After discovering the SV8.R conversion kit, we're left with one tinkling question in mind: what's the point of buying this kit when a brand new Corvette C7 Stingray costs $52,000? Anyways, more pictures and details in the press release after the jump.
