fender flare qwik z06 teaser
Those of you who have been following the original thread, I decided to make an new thread since the fenders are now complete...well sort of.
Link to the original thread:

I say "partially" complete because...well goes something like this...
-fenders sent for paint 2 weeks ago,
-some extra prepping involved so they were delayed,
-suppose to pick them up last Friday but just came out of the paint booth so still to fresh to handle. Tells me to come Monday (Today)
-Show up today at lunch without calling, painter looks at me and has bad news...while drying on the stand over the weekend someone bumped into the driver fender and it fell. It was a disaster so needed repaint. Suppose to pick up tomorrow evening.
At least I was able to get the passenger side back. It was overcast so hard to tell if the paint is a complete match, but from I can tell it looks pretty good. Hopefully no blending needed. I'll do a proper photoshoot once the other panel is on, but for now this is how the passenger side looks...

That looks great. Sure wish GM had put that type of rear fender on the car from the factory.

Thanks for your feedback everyone
. Once I get the other side on I'll get my neighbor to take some photos. He's a police officer by day, but does photography on the side. On another note, you really do need splash guards with these type of fenders. I may get a set of c6 z06 ones and modify them or attempt to make my own.

Thanks for standing by your product and addressing concerns that I had. Now only if you made an "S" style wing

I always thought it was called an "S" wing, but I guess it's just a wing. Just an alternative instead of replacing the whole bumper.

I don't have an eta, but I would say they are at least 8 weeks out minimum.
