C6 side fender inserts
Could you recommend a company that sells the side fender mesh inserts. I have done some research on web and seen prices from $29.00--$298.00
I have an Arctic White and want something that looks nice and easy to install.
Thanks !!!!!

Race Mesh is the ones you want. Many of the forum venders sell them. Remember you get what you pay for.
I have not installed them on my C6, but had them on my C5. You need to jack the car remove the tires and the inner fender panel to install them. One my C5, the came with three tabs with double sided tape. If the C6 is the same, don't trust the tape. Get yourself some epoxy and apply it to the contact points, if not you will be redoing them in a few months.

Got mine from Vetteshop on ebay for $30, sprayed them gloss black and they have been on there using supplied double sided tape for over a year. Got free ones from Corvette mods when I ordered Front screen and they were the same. Cheap doesn't mean bad.

They are also made/sold as Genuine Corvette Accessories (GCA) by GM.
Available through dealers, usually at inflated prices, or through GM parts venders here.
I haven't compared the different makes.

I also have a set from them waiting to be installed. They are inexpensive.

I have these on my Vette and they look fantastic.
They are fairly flexible, so it wasn't difficult to get them to fit perfectly.

I pm them awhile back and they never got back in touch. They said their mold was broken and they where not making anymore. They where going to check to, see what they had on stock but never heard anything back..

If you want the polished stainless, it's discontinued.
Now only several sets left, either painted or carbon. If you want the painted black, I think we have couple sets in stock. Once they are sold then no more. If you want carbon, we have one last pair in stock. That's it. If you want painted color then we repaint for you.

I got the ones from GM, which uses the fender push pins for installation.

I also had the GM Accessories version and using the pins made the install pretty painless.
Since I had splash guards too, getting the extra-long GM plastic push pins helped too.
If you use a screen that needs to be glued in, you can use this technique to hold them in place as the glue sets.
