I like that- nice and clean.

Looking at the splash guards from the angles in your pictures leaves me with thinking of how they would look if they were one piece units that installed and fit the tip of the fender well from front to rear of the well? Like a super slight flared fender. IDK, just thinking out loud.

Default And then there's Apsis. . .

I bought these from Apsis, a really top quality and what I believe a much better way to go with splash guards. They were painted and install takes a little patience but you only have to drill one hole in the bottom of the rear wheel splash guards. I also use a 3M product that keeps the tire side of the guards from stone nicks. I think they look good. What do you think ?

I think that you made a wise choice in the product that you bought just like I made the right one for my car
I plan on within the next year to add the wide body qt. panels also from Lewis 5 and these splash guards will still be useable

James does the front lip ever scrape when driving? I've been looking at doing the lip and skirts on mine but am nervous about them rubbing. Your car looks great.

James your car looks awesome! Just curious are those C6 Z06 wheels? If so did you space them out any. I just installed a set on my 2000 vert.

Very nice! How do you like the Invo's on your Z? Have 'em on my '99 Z51 coupe. Great bang for the buck.

Thanks. Yeh, going from stock sizes to 18/265 in front and 19/305 in back, with the Invos - the Vette is a blast to drive!
