Anyone have CF painted spats with matching mud flaps?
I know some vendors offer these components (spats and mud guards/splash guards) painted Carbon Flash and was curious if anyone has any pics of them installed. Thanks!

I've got them on order. I'll try to take some pics when they come in.
I have them on my Blade Silver Z but need to see if I have any close up pics of them. I bought them unpainted from a Forum vendor and had a local body shop paint them for me. Color matched very well and came out le$$ than ordering them already painted from a vendor.
Thanks. Is the painted finish holding up well? I know they don't paint the wheel facing, or inside part, but since GM offers these with a texture finish, I'm curious on the look of the finish over time.

Are you talking about the flares around the front wheel wells?
Yes, I had the textured look/feel smoothed out so that these are as slick as the fender itself. So far the finish is holding up well and the shop that did them stands behind their work. If you get them done locally, find out what kind of warranty on the finish they offer.
Previously, I have ordered the splash guards already painted from a popular Forum vendor for my Stingray and honestly, the ones I had painted locally for my Z are at least the same quality if not better - no, they are better/smoother.
Plus if the finish ever has a problem from workmanship or from rocks/debris, I can take them off, take them to the shop and have them back within the week - no shipping time/cost involved.
Just my $0.02, but finding a quality paint/body shop and owning a Vette go hand in hand. Someday you will probably need one and it's always nice to have a relationship with one beforehand.

Thanks. I was considering buying the pre-painted components from Forum vendors who ofter them sanded, smoothed, painted, and cleared ready for installation. Good idea about finding a quality paint shop.
These were purchased online. I can find out the vendor but the company that wrapped my car had suggested them. They also have a body shop and still recommended these as the quality was very good. Let me know and I can get the info.
