What I did in 2007 before GM guards were available, was to get a set of Z-06 rear flairs and cut the inside webbing out to make them a little more flexible to fit the C-6 rear fenders. I had to slightly trim the inside of the guard with a box knife and attached the outside lip with 3-M VHB double sided tape. The inside just attaches with the push-pins like the current GM guards do. the Z-06 flairs will give you more protection and a wider look.

Apsis makes extended Z06 flairs for non-Z06 C6's.

I bought the carbon fiber ones (SERIOUS cash--900+ shipped). The non-carbon fiber ones are cheaper. Around 200-300 shipped, I believe.

You might want to add rear spacers (which can be a pain because you also need new rear studs--which requires pulling the rear hub). Or, you can get a wider tire if you add them.

Here is my set up which I think is pretty unique. Apsis CF Extended Z06 Splash guards, 0.5 inch hub centric spacers, ARP extended rear studs (can't reinforce what a pain in the a** job his was for the DIY'er).

As mentioned earlier...I took a Z06 rear splash guard and trimmed it to fit. Easy enough to do and look good in my opinion

Yup. It's a stock Z06 flap. Very little trimming was needed to make it fit. Go a little at a time and it will come out perfect. I needed them to keep my 315's from sandblasting my quarters.
