Thanks mrr23, those are the L5 flares that are incorrectly marked as 1" flares on WCC website. Look on L5 website and they are actually 3/4". The TPE fronts are 1-1/8" which I'd jump on if TPE inspired buyer confidence. RK Sport who manufactures for TPE told me they often cannot contact TPE as Jeff does not answer calls or return his messages.

If your contribution to a for sale thread does not advance the sale, you are in the way.

3 Threads with pictures of green vert with L5 rear 1-1/4" flares with L5 front 3/4" flares and oem C6 ZO6 wheels. I especially like that this setup will fit factory C6z wheels because wheels in these offsets are on C6 Grand Sports, C6 ZO6 and C6 ZR1 in many affordable designs and sizes. Great looking combination with good lines and fitment. I'm posting this in hopes that Extreme Dimensions and other vendors see opportunity to sell flares that would fit off-the-shelf wheels that are both good looking and easily affordable.

Some new pics after finishing the mods

Lewis 5 motorsports flare install, ALMOST FINISHED!!!

L5 front and rear fenders with C6 Z06 wheels??? POST 17

They did a body kit for C6 that looks better than the C7-ish front looks on a C5.

Is the black section in the middle going to look as rendered? Or will the entire opening just be mesh?

The bumper does not come with provisions for turn signals. If you are dead set on running them your shop can make a stencil of the lights, cut openings on the bumper, and mount your turn signals. for a sleeker look you could even run LED strips in the openings on the side. Your factory headlights will work with the bumper.

The black section in the middle is going to have the C7 Style grille. this is our Stingray Z bumper we did for the C6.

Not a fan of the angular fangs on the front of the C7 look with the smooth round lines of the C5. Any change of you making a "smoothed" version without the fangs?

You are in the minority otherwise you'd see a thread full of cars with TPE fenders just installed. I'm first to say they have best looking design but I'm going with the statistics here and holding on to my money until I see happy NEW customers posting pictures of TPE products installed.

After looking at it a couple of times I like the first picture of the Red one with stock head lights and for me. I would custom out the grille area and use the strip led lights to make it road ready. I would also do fog lights mounted on the edges. Now if it's just me the yellow one makes it look like a emoji smiley face lol As I look at it this might be the best aftermarket front I have seen yet I do like the stock one.
