# Pandem’s Chevrolet Corvette C8 Widebody Kit Is Here to Haunt Your Dreams

For a car that technically starts at a hair under $60,000, the mid-engined [C8 Chevrolet Corvette](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/32354/2020-chevrolet-corvette-c8-review-a-mid-engine-marvel>) already delivers quite a bit of road presence as is. C8 owners wanting a little more curb appeal, however, can now send their hard-earned cash to aftermarket kit builder Pandem, who has created a widebody kit for the Chevy that looks downright evil—in a good way.

Much like the designs most widely associated with Pandem's sister brand Rocket Bunny and [RWB Porsches](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/30864/tesla-powered-1977-porsche-911-rwb-sends-563-hp-to-the-rear-wheels>), the Pandem C8 kit features some seriously voluptuous fender add-ons with exposed rivets finished off by aggressive lips, skirts, and spoilers. I'm usually not a big fan of modified cars and Corvette purists will likely cry heresy here, but something about the squared-off wheel wells and crossover-style black lower trim just looks sort of *right* to my inner five-year-old.

It looks like the final boss from a cartoon-ish arcade racing game in which the developers forgot to render negative space between cars and the tracks they race on.

Here it is in yellow, shown on designer and [Pandem/Rocket Bunny](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/8574/tra-kyotos-new-pandem-honda-s2000-wide-body-is-hideously-ugly>) CEO Kei Miura's Instagram:

According to [Pandem](<https://pandemusa.com/collections/widebody-kits/products/pandem-c8-corvette?variant=36060447899813>)'s website, the entire kit can be had for $7,000—donor C8 not included, of course. Choose to go without the rear spoiler and the price drops to $5,800. Mind you, $7,000 isn't quite enough to make your Corvette look as it does here. To get the full effect, one should budget for a fancier set of wheels (the deeper the dish, the better) and a lowered suspension setup with a healthy helping of negative camber.
