Default TPE T2 rear fenders + L5 front fenders??

Has anyone done this mod yet? I really like the TPE T2 rear fenders but not the front. TPE T2 front fenders do not look like it flares evenly from top to bottom like the rear. I like the L5 front fenders but they are little edgy and will not match well with the TPE T2 rear. Has anyone done the TPE T2 or L5 front fenders also? Pictures would help a lot! I was going to do TPE T2 front + rear but upon close inspection from TPE T2 front fenders thread and opinion from a forum member, I decided to wait. Thanks!

I have TPE front and rear. The fronts could be alittle more flared.

Actually, most forum members have done only the rear. Thanks for the offer, I already got wheels.

Road Pilot, do you have any picture of the front fenders with the view looking down, from front to back, and back to front. I really like the rear fenders on yours. Very nicely done!

OK Z-Stallion-----
This is not a very good picture and it is pretty old. My vette has
changed alot since this was taken. But you will get the idea-----

Thanks a lot, Road Pilot!
If you were to do it over again. Would you have picked the TPE T2 or L5 front fenders?
Are your CCW wheels for C6Z's specs?

I think I would of used L-5 since I had customer service issues
with TPE. The L-5 also has a more pronounced flare for the front
as well.
No my CCW wheels were custom made for the C-5.

Road Pilot, can you shoot some pictures of your front fenders, please? Views from top looking down, view looking from front to back, and back to front? Are your wheels C6Z06 specs? Thanks

So has anyone combined the l5 fronts with the tpe rears yet? I am really curious to see this as well. I really like the tpe rears, but the fronts don't look much different than stock
