This is a very simple mod if U can call it that; makes the front tubing look better after you have curbed it a time or two. I painted my tubing and then covered it with a piece of tubing insulation from Home Depot or Lowes. Front tucked into the area beside the tubing and a zip tie on the back to hold in place. If you curb it again and destroy the insulation, simply replace it. I also went the cheap route on the exhaust plate, I ordered a simple vette tag and velcroed it on.

I used this gutter guard on fog light opening and the rear bumper vent. Back bumper was super easy, took all of 5 minutes to do both sides, echlers want 60.oo bucks for rear vent.
See post below for pictures.

I thought about using that as well but after actually seeing the gutter guard in person, there's no way I would use it - didn't look right.

Gutter guard is 6"x 3'. For the rear cut 2, 15" pieces, don't need to cut the 6" width, push the pieces up and tuck them inside the bottom lip in the bumper, they fit very tight and not prone to rust per info on label/box. Front is a little more difficult to get the correct fit, must cut and trim. I am not completely satisfied with my front and plan on re-doing them. This material is really pliable and easy to work. Looks just like the Eckler stuff. Paint it if you don't like the shinny look.

Looks good. What did u wrap around the fronts so they don't scratch the paint?

bjones7131

Nothing, make sure you nip all sharp edges as best u can. U will have to bow/bend wire n the middle, slid it n and use needle nose pliers to pull out the bend so screen fits into the groove between bumper and vent. I thought about getting a piece of small vacuum hose and splitting it and wrapping around perimeter, still may try this. I am going to try brake duct and side fender vents next. I thought about running a strip of tape around the bumper fog light area to keep from scratching but didn't need to. Tape thought was just to keep from scratching until they were in the groove area and then remove.

Anyone else done the tilt the rear back up light/license plate mod? Real easy. As installed, one of the reasons the back up lights are so useless, is that they point up, due to the angle of the rear back up light assembly. Remove the two top screws, loosen the bottom ones, (no need to disconnect anything} and put 1" or so spacers on the top two screws - you will need longer screws. I had some old plastic shipping spacers from a washing machine, so I cut them to about an inch - they already had holes through the middle.

I combined it with one an Adjure unit (cheap from Amazon at the time) and a couple of high output, but conventional bulbs from Candlepower. Difference is amazing!

Sounds interesting. Any pics of yours?

That gutter guard will not last and will rust very soon. I ve used this stuff during my ricer days and know from experience. You can try to spray it with some rustoleoum clear coat but you are only delaying the inevitable. The best DIY way is to get some stainless mesh from McMaster Carr. You will pay more but it looks like the mesh used on the factory Z06 inserts and one sheet is enough to fill in all the areas.

This looks damn good especially with the white and the protection should be suffice. I'd like to try this on my quick silver C5 Z06. Sure beats having to buy the C6 mud guards and trimming them to make them work. Is the super duty double sided 3M tape all that is holding it in place?

Thanks!!
