I'm looking for an up to date wide bodykit for my 78 280. I found this one by Reaction Research and it looks pretty cool. I'm curious about the quality ! Any knowledge of this kit would be appreciated !

I plan on going C4 corvette IRS & possibly fabbing a front subframe & connectors to use the C4 front suspension pieces as well. The C4 IRS is 63" flange to flange, so I will be widening the track width substantially

John is a great guy to work with. The quality of the kit is very good considering that this is a "race car" kit. I used the YZ rear fenders and the SubtleZ fronts. John was happy to accommodate me with the various small sections of different molds I needed to blend it all together. He is a true professional. He parts are not cheap but i've never heard any of his customers complain.

The search function is down untill the new site is online but if you scan this forum you can find a lot more info on this kit and John Washington.

 

EDIT: I re-read your post and saw you plan to use the C4 rear end. The YZ fenders will come up just short of fitting that rearend without sectioning. Sorry to break the bad news to you.

I bought a set of YZ rear quarters from John a couple of months ago, excellent experience which I posted about here. Initially the price may seem high, but if you compare his parts to other automotive fiberglass out there, you get what you pay for. I also initially thought the crateing and shipping charges were going to be high, but shipping from AZ to NC for $100 isn't bad at all, and the crate was one of the nicest I have ever seen, we receive multiple thousand dollar parts in at work that aren't crated this well.

 

Good luck, you can't go wrong dealing with Reaction....
