Z-06 Mud Guards
Just need some advice/opinions. I was thinking of putting the
Z-06 mud guards on a C6 and wondering if it would look out of place because of the stock fenders.
I do now have 19x11 CCW's on the rear and 18x10 on the front which fills the wells out, and think it will look okay. Am I right on that ?
Thanks for your input on this

I have the Z0-6 rear guards on my car with 11X19 Repro. Z0-6 wheels. The guards look OK but still are a little wide for a non-widebody car. I think you might like the new 2009 GCA guards better that are available from Gene Cully here on the forum. I am going to change mine over the the new guards this winter. Besides the Z0-6 guards do not just bolt on, you have to cut the webbing out of the middle of the guards and use a heat gun to slightly reshape them for a snug fit to the C-6 rear fender profile. This is just my experience on using the Z0-6 guards.

IMO they look OEM...and provide quite a bit more coverage than the new "official" ones.
Fronts are a PITA, but the rears are pretty simple..
Lots of info in this thread:
